A photograph of a man seated on a gold-carved throne decorated with a dense garland arch of yellow, white, red, and magenta flowers. He sits with palms pressed together in namaskar, eyes closed, in front of a microphone on a stand. He wears a white dhoti with a gold border, a gold shawl draped over one shoulder, a thick gold necklace, and a red bindi on his forehead, with long dark hair. A gold lion-faced armrest flanks each side, and a gold trident is visible at upper left against a patterned backdrop. A person in the scene matches Swamiji's appearance, with long hair, gold necklace and gold-bordered shawl, so the identification is probable. He is the only person visible.
