A photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork and a red seat cushion, dressed in a reddish-brown robe with a saffron-orange shawl. He wears a long multi-strand garland of white flowers and pink-red blossoms with gold beads, a red bindi, gold earrings and a gold bangle, and holds a betel leaf in one hand. Before him on a gold-trimmed table sits a silver tray with green leaves and offerings. A water bottle stands on a small side table at left. Visible cues include long swept-back hair, a garland and ornate clothing, so the seated figure is a probable Swamiji in person. The background is a plain cream wall.
