A photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate golden throne in front of a gilded backdrop with two large figures in the background. He wears rust-brown saffron-toned robes, a white flower garland, a gold chain with a pendant, and bangles, and he holds a silver trident upright in his right hand while smiling. Two golden-faced deity figures with crowns and ornate jewellery flank the scene; one has orange clothing and a larger central figure with tall crown. Two golden lion sculptures and carved golden side panels frame the throne. The man has long swept-back hair and a crown-like headpiece is not visible, but the saffron robes, garland and trident are distinctive, and the page attributes the event to Swamiji, so the appearance is probable.
