A photograph of a man seated on an ornate golden-framed red throne with a tall red backrest, flanked by two gold lion-head armrest sculptures and a tiger-striped upholstered base. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and a tiger-striped shawl, with multiple strands of red, yellow and green flower garlands, gold necklaces, bangles and a white vertical forehead mark with a red dot. He smiles with one hand resting on the armrest. Behind him hang grey draped curtains on a dark stage with a red carpeted platform. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark swept-back hair, a crown-like ornate throne setting, saffron clothing, rudraksha-style gold adornments and garlands, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
