A photograph of a man with long swept-back dark hair wrapped in a black turban with a jewelled ornament, a white tilak with a red vertical mark on his forehead, a pink floral garland, and a gold necklace, smiling as he holds a wooden board or instrument. Beside him a person with a dark turban and leopard-print cloth sits in front of an ornate gold throne-like structure decorated with red and green floral garlands, and a man in white on the right sits with palms pressed together in namaskar. A microphone stand is visible. Swamiji (probable) is the man in the centre, identified by his long swept-back hair, turban, tilak, garland and gold necklace, seated in a richly decorated gold peetha setting.
