A photograph of a seated figure on a red-draped stage before an ornate gold arched throne with carved lion motifs. The seated man wears a tiger-striped sleeveless top, rust-brown dhoti with a yellow border, layered rudraksha and white bead malas, a bead necklace, and a forehead tilak with red bindi. He sits cross-legged with a braided cord in his hands, and a bell-cuff ankle ornament is visible. To the right, a painted deity murti with raised hand holding a staff stands beside a large gold arch. The lower stage holds folded cloths and small ritual items. A probable Swamiji is shown with these cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial beadwork, seated in a throne-like setting.
