Photograph of a seated man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead, wearing a sleeveless orange garment with an orange shawl draped over his shoulder, and a long necklace of large yellow-green fruit beads hanging across his chest. Behind him, a brass oil lamp with floral garlands stands beside a wooden tray holding fruit, and a person in orange clothing stands at the right edge. A cameraman partly visible at the top left is filming. Presentation cues with long hair, orange clothing and a fruit garland support a probable identification of Swamiji as the seated man, with the role of a seated figure receiving a garland during a ritual setting.
