A photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver throne with a leopard-print cushion, wearing a large gold crown, a rust-orange garment, rudraksha beads, a gold necklace, a gold armlet and a thick garland of white flowers with red and yellow blossoms. He holds a tall silver staff with a finial in his left hand, and a small glass stands on a silver tray beside him. The background is dark blue with the ornate silver backrest of the throne behind him. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a gold crown, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace consistent with the page's identification of Swamiji, though appearance alone is not conclusive.
