A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne carved with lion and floral motifs, with leopard-print cushions. He wears a rust-red and orange garment with a leopard-print headwrap topped by a crescent ornament, a red tilak on his forehead, a white-and-pink flower garland, layered gold necklaces, and a gold ornamental chest piece. A shirtless young boy in white dhoti walks at left edge, partly out of frame. Swamiji (probable) is seated at centre, with the cues of swept-back long hair, a crown-like headwrap, saffron-orange ceremonial clothing and gold adornments. Gold lion-head armrests are visible at right.
