A photograph of a seated man on an ornate golden throne with lion-shaped armrests, the throne backed by a golden floral arch. He wears a red-orange embroidered turban with a red jewel, an orange-red robe draped over one shoulder, a gold waist sash, a long gold bead necklace, and red-orange beaded bracelets on his arms. A red tilak marks his forehead. Behind him hang crimson drapes, and to the right a silver trident is entwined by a black cobra. He sits cross-legged with hands resting on his knee and smiles. Swamiji (probable) appearance cues: distinctive turban, ornate gold necklace and saffron-red robes on a throne; he is the seated person in the scene.
