A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a raised golden throne inside a decorated stage tent, smiling at the audience. He wears an ornate gold crown, a long orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a white flower garland, a gold chain with a rudraksha-style pendant and bangles, and holds a long white staff across his lap. The throne is framed by arches of red, orange and yellow marigold garlands with peacock feathers, hanging white and orange decorated pots and red velvet drapes. Brightly coloured tassels and embroidered panels decorate the pillars. Partial heads of audience members are visible at the bottom edge. The appearance matches the Swamiji cues of ornate gold crown, saffron clothing and rudraksha-style adornment, so this is a probable identification of Swamiji seated in person.
