A photograph of a seated man on a red cushioned seat before an ornate silver throne panel decorated with a lion-face motif and hanging tassels. He wears a red turban with a white crest and a red kumkum-style tilak on his forehead, layered coral-red and gold beaded necklaces, a large gold pendant with a deity figure, rudraksha bracelets and an armlet, and a red cloth draped over his bare upper body. He holds a silver staff with his right hand and rests a book on a red stand in front of him. Printed text reads and a copyright line. Swamiji (probable) is shown here with his distinctive turban, ornate beaded adornments and gold pendant, seated as a teacher with a book and staff
