A photo of a man seated on an ornate golden throne with leopard-print upholstery and gilded lion-head armrests, in a temple-like room with hanging brass bells and oil lamps. He wears a rust-red garment with a gold-toned chain, red armlets, a sacred mark on his forehead, and his long dark hair is swept back. He sits with eyes closed and a silver staff with a finial beside him, his bare feet resting on a golden platform near a garland of flowers and a brass plate with offerings. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, red and gold ceremonial clothing, and gold chain match the cues for the presentation, and the page attributes the event to him.
