A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with a deep red velvet cushion, wearing cream-white dhoti and sleeveless kurta with an orange-saffron shawl draped over one shoulder and tied at the waist. He wears layered rudraksha malas with a large gold pendant, gold bangles on his upper arms, and a white and red tilak on his forehead. A brass oil lamp stands at left beside him, and a colourful painted deity figure with raised arms appears in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man shows long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, ornate gold jewellery and saffron shawl, matching the page's reference to a throne-seated teacher.
