A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with a red cushion and lion-carved armrests, decorated with white jasmine and multicolored flower garlands. The seated person, with long dark hair and wearing orange robes with a multicolored garland, is speaking into a microphone and smiling, with bare feet resting on the platform. Standing to the right, a bearded man in a white shirt and white dhoti holds papers and faces the seated figure. Behind them hang a large painted backdrop, a pink and blue cloth, a golden umbrella canopy with heart-shaped finials, and a colourful embroidered banner. Petals are scattered on the floor, and seated devotees in the background watch. Swamiji (probable) is shown seated on the throne, identified by the long swept-back hair, orange robes and throne-seat honour, with the attendant reading in white beside him.
