A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a red velvet throne with a fan-shaped back and gold trim, on a leopard-print cushion. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a multi-strand rudraksha mala, a gold necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and a white tilak with a red bindi. He rests one hand on a silver staff. Behind him stands a large portrait of a smiling man in an orange headwrap, a gold pillar and orange and white flowers frame the scene. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace seated in a throne-like setting.
