Close-up photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate gilded throne, smiling broadly. He wears an elaborate gold crown set with red and white stones and a crescent, large gold drop earrings, a gold necklace with pendant, and multiple rudraksha malas over his bare chest. A white horizontal band marks his forehead. Behind him, gilded carvings of deities and a carved figure with a staff decorate the throne, with a seated figure and a bull visible in the golden panels. Faint copyright credit text appears in the lower right corner, which is not transcribed. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure, identified by the crown, rudraksha malas and gold jewellery.
