A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne on a stage with a dark navy backdrop. The figure wears a lavender-grey and purple layered garment with a light pinkish-white turban and a long multicoloured flower garland with red blossoms, plus a rudraksha-style bead mala across the chest. A gilded umbrella canopy stands above the throne, flanking silver oil lamps with rooster-topped finials are on either side, a small lit flame burns at left, and vases of flowers sit beside the throne. A standing microphone is positioned at right. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by a turban, long hair, a rudraksha mala and a garland; appearance cues are present but the image is small and somewhat indistinct.
