A photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver throne with embossed lion and floral designs, wearing a rust-orange shawl over an orange garment and a long necklace of gold-tone beads with silver chain. He has a red tilak mark on his forehead, eyes closed, and sleek swept-back hair. In front of him a large embossed silver bowl holds yellow flower petals or grains, and his hand, holding a golden vessel, is dipping into it. Swamiji (probable) by appearance cues: swept-back hair, orange ceremonial shawl and gold bead necklace, seated on a throne during an offering ritual. White draped table in the foreground.
