A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, in front of a maroon curtain and a striped ceremonial flag at left. He wears a rust-orange turban with a gold crown ornament, long swept-back dark hair, a forehead marking, a thick gold-bead necklace and a wide gold arm band, with an orange-brown shawl draped over his bare shoulder. He sits with eyes lowered in a calm, composed pose. Clothing, long hair, crown and gold necklaces are appearance cues matching the Swamiji candidate, so he is labelled Swamiji (probable) as a seated figure on the throne. A white fan is visible at the left edge.
