A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet cushion and a tiger-skin cloth draped over the platform. The seated person wears a saffron-orange turban, a saffron wrap over the shoulders, a dark rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial necklace with a pendant, and sits barefoot with hands resting on the armrests while smiling. Behind the throne is a painted backdrop of a standing deity figure with a crown, gold jewellery and a trident-like staff, beside a brass oil lamp and a lamp stand. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure, identified by the saffron turban, rudraksha mala and gold necklace cues.
