A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne, hands pressed together in namaste with eyes closed, wearing orange robes, a red floral garland with green leaves and gold-toned pendant beads, and a red bindi on his forehead. In front of him, a person in orange robes with long dark hair holds a lit oil lamp (aarti) toward him. A gold lion-form sculpture sits beside the throne, and a gold deity relief is carved at the top of the chair. The man is labelled as Swamiji (probable) based on the long swept-back hair, orange clothing, and ceremonial garland with gold beads, seated in a ceremonial setting at what appears to be an aarti ritual.
