Close side-profile photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne with carved floral detailing. He has long dark dreadlocked hair tied into a topknot adorned with rudraksha beads, a gold crescent and a gold ornament, and wears a white tilak on his forehead, gold earring, layered rudraksha malas, a gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and a rust-red cloth over his bare shoulders. He rests his hand thoughtfully against his chin. Red pillars and a pink wall stand behind him, and a person in a striped garment is partly visible at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the long matted hair, crown-like topknot, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments fit the page's reference to Swamiji, presented in a seated, honoured posture.
