A photograph of two men seated before an ornate silver-embossed throne flanked by large silver lion sculptures. The central man wears a rust-orange long-sleeved jacket over matching orange dhoti-style garments, with long dark hair swept back, a beard, a red tilak on his forehead and a gold pendant at his neck. He sits with palms pressed together in a greeting gesture. To the left, a man with a reddish beard and tilak, wearing a white garment with a yellow border and a rudraksha mala, holds his hands in anjali. The central man's appearance matches Swamiji (probable) by his long swept-back hair, orange ceremonial clothing, gold necklace and rudraksha-style adornment, seated in a throne setting.
