A photograph of a single man seated in front of an ornate silver throne with embossed floral and lion-head motifs. He wears a maroon draped garment with pink-edged trim, bare-shouldered, with gold armbands of beaded maroon bands, multiple strands of rudraksha-style dark beads and gold beads, a gold pendant and a gold ornamental medallion on his chest. He has a white horizontal forehead marking with a red dot, dark swept-back hair, gold earrings, and is smiling. A brass vessel is at the left edge and a gold lion-shaped object at the lower right. Swamiji (probable): the appearance shows long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces, rudraksha malas and a ceremonial maroon drape, and the page identifies him as Swamiji at this event; the figure is seated and presented as a person in the scene.
