A photograph of a seated man on an ornate golden throne decorated with a large arc of garlands in yellow, purple, red and white flowers. He wears a yellow turban, a yellow shawl draped over bare shoulders with a yellow dhoti, and a heavy multi-strand necklace of golden beads. He sits cross-legged with hands clasped, smiling. A brass oil lamp with a lit flame stands at left against a white drape. Swamiji (probable): he has a distinctive combination of a turban, saffron-yellow ceremonial clothing, gold beaded necklaces and a throne setting, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
