A man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved gold backrest and a gold lion-head armrest, wearing a maroon-red draped garment, multiple rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and beaded bracelets on his arms. He has a white vertical forehead mark with a red dot at the centre, and a silver trident (trishul) rests against his left side while his hands rest on a dark velvet cushion. Swamiji (probable): the swept-back long hair, ornate gold throne, layered rudraksha malas and ceremonial maroon sannyasi-style drapery are consistent with the page's identification. Behind him stand pink and blue decorative panels, and a small rounded pot-shaped decoration hangs above. The photograph carries a copyright credit overlay in the lower right corner.
