A photograph of a long-haired man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved gilded backrest and velvet cushions. He wears a sky-blue sleeveless top and draped blue wrap with ruffled trim, several strands of rudraksha beads and a pearl necklace, and a red bindi with white tilak on his forehead. He gestures with one open hand while speaking. In the foreground, the shaved heads and bare shoulders of two seated people are partly visible at the frame edges, with pink flowers at the bottom. Swamiji (probable) is seated centrally, with long hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold-throne setting as distinguishing cues.
