A photograph in a bare hall with red curtains and a white tiled floor. A man seated on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions and a silver lion figure holds a silver staff and wears a black crown-like headpiece, pink and white flower garland, gold necklaces and a rust-red dhoti, with a red-and-white tilak on his forehead. Swamiji (probable): he has a crown and garlands, ornate ceremonial clothing and gold necklaces. A woman in an orange sari kneels with her back to the camera in the foreground, and a woman in a rust sari with an orange head cloth stands holding papers beside a standing fan. Two more people in orange and white dhoti-style clothing stand at the left edge near a trident-topped stand.
