A photograph of a seated man on a gilded throne draped with white and orange flower garlands, under a floral canopy. He wears a cream turban, a red silk kurta with gold trim, a cream dhoti and a gold-bordered shawl, and he holds a folded paper. A standing bald man in a white T-shirt and grey shorts leans in, with a hand on his head, while a seated attendant in an orange robe and gold necklace sits on the white-draped platform and a person in orange reaches up from the right holding a rudraksha mala. A fan and a golden lion-form armrest stand nearby. Swamiji (probable): the seated throne figure has long swept-back hair, a turban and ornate red-and-gold clothing.
