A photograph of a seated man on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests and leopard-print cushions. He wears a rust-red turban with a small crescent emblem, a red bindi, and a maroon-red cloth draped over his body. A long brown rudraksha mala and a gold necklace hang on his chest, with gold armbands on his upper arms. His eyes are closed and he sits in meditative stillness with one hand resting on the armrest. A second, partly visible person sits at the lower left with a dark head bowed. Behind the throne are a large gilded carved backrest and red drapes. The swamiji appearance is a probable match based on the turban, rudraksha mala, gold ornaments and maroon robe, though he is seated on a throne and the cues are not fully distinctive.
