A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red and black zebra-striped cushion, framed by a curved arch of marigolds in yellow and purple and leafy branches with oranges behind. He wears a cream turban with a red tilak mark on the forehead, a maroon and gold embroidered long-sleeved garment, a layered gold necklace and a sheer cream shawl draped over his lap. His right hand rests lightly against his cheek and his left arm extends along the throne arm. Watermarked archive photo of a ceremonial throne seating, no other people visible. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a cream turban, ornate gold-embroidered clothing and gold necklaces, consistent with the page's Swamiji reference.
