A smiling man sits on an ornate gold throne with a large carved backrest and a deep red velvet seat. He wears a rust-red turban with a small red tilak on his forehead, a red-and-gold robe, a long pink and white flower garland, a gold beaded necklace, gold bangles on his arms and gold earrings. His hands are clasped in his lap. Behind him is a purple draped backdrop. The photo is a formal portrait of the seated man, who appears to be the probable Swamiji by appearance cues: turban, saffron-toned robe and ornate ceremonial gold necklace, seated on a throne.
