A photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate silver-framed throne with a red cushion, raising his right hand. He wears a rust-red draped garment, a long gold necklace and a second gold beaded chain, gold bangles and armlets, and a flower-shaped gold brooch. He has a tilak on his forehead and long dark hair, and holds a tall silver staff with a crystal-like finial. Behind him, a seated audience is partly visible in a bright hall with pink and white wall hangings. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and a red-orange garment, and is seated in a throne-like chair with a silver staff. The page identifies this as an event with Swamiji, and the candidate's appearance is consistent with that.
