A photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate white carved throne with a red cushion. He wears a rust-red turban decorated with gold cobra and sun-shaped ornaments, a red-brown wrap, and a heavy gold beaded necklace with a rudraksha-style mala. A red tilak marks his forehead, and the background is blurred blue with orange floral decorations. Swamiji (probable): the long dark hair under the turban, ornate ceremonial gold ornaments, and red-orange ceremonial clothing are consistent with the page's description of the event. He sits alone as a central figure, and the photo is watermarked by the archive.
