A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a carved, rounded back, eyes closed and smiling. He wears a rust-red turban with a red forehead mark, a pink marigold garland, a necklace of large gold-coloured beads, orange-gold and maroon robes, and bangles on his wrists and upper arm. His hands rest folded in his lap and his feet are bare, with a maroon cushion beside him. A thin gold pole stands behind the throne against a dark blue backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has a turban, saffron-orange clothing, rudraksha-style gold beads and a garland, consistent with a ceremonial presence on the throne.
