A photograph of a seated man on an ornate red velvet throne with gold filigree back, wearing a cream turban, white dhoti-style wrap and a double strand of gold beaded necklaces, smiling and gesturing with one hand. Beside him, an older bearded man with white horizontal tilak markings, a cream turban, a long grey beard, layered beaded necklaces and an orange-saffron cloth presses his palms together in a respectful namaskar gesture. Warm blurred lights glow in the background. Two people are visible, plus a partly visible figure at the lower left edge. The seated man in the white wrap has long dark hair and gold necklaces, consistent with the appearance cues of the page's named teacher, so this is a probable Swamiji appearance.
