A photograph of a seated man in a red-brown saffron-toned robe, wearing long dark hair swept back, a red bindi, a long rudraksha mala and a heavy gold necklace with a gold pendant. He sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion and holds a hand up, smiling and looking down. In front of him a shaved-headed devotee in orange robes with a gold-edged cloth bends forward and scatters yellow grains or flower petals from a silver bowl. The silver bowl on the lower foreground holds more of the yellow material. Dark curtains form the background. The seated man is a probable Swamiji by appearance: long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, seated on a throne.
