Photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a carved golden backrest and red upholstery. He has swept-back dark hair, a white vertical tilak with a red dot, gold earrings, and wears a rust-orange garment with a gold border over his shoulders and long brown beaded rudraksha-style mala necklaces. Behind him stand a brass oil lamp with a lit flame and a golden bird-shaped figure, with a green and pink draped backdrop. Swamiji (probable) appears in person, identified by the saffron-orange clothing, long swept-back hair, ornate mala necklaces and throne setting alongside the page's event context.
