Photograph of a seated figure in a red-maroon turban, layered gold-beaded necklaces, red-and-gold shawl and jeweled armbands, gesturing with an open hand toward an older man in a white shirt who kneels with head bowed. Behind them a bald man with a vertical orange-yellow forehead mark, glasses, rudraksha mala and gold-bordered maroon cloth sits attentively. A standing person in white with a brown beaded garland and gold-edged cloth stands at right. Brass lamps and a gold-carved seat frame the scene, with fruit and flowers in the foreground. The turbaned figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance (turban, ornate gold necklaces, shawl), seated in a ceremonial setting.
