A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair wrapped in a rust-orange turban, wearing orange-brown robes, a thick gold beaded necklace and rudraksha-style malas, and an armband, sits on a gold throne with a tiger-striped cushion and a maroon back rest, holding a small ritual implement. A tall gold trident stands beside him. Around him sit and stand many devotees, including women in orange, red and blue saris and a young girl in red with a beaded necklace, all facing him in a large hall with white chairs, wooden doors and a large screen on the left showing a crowd. A white-and-gold ritual cloth is visible at the right. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, turban, saffron-toned clothing and gold ornaments, consistent with the Swamiji appearance cues, so this is a probable Swamiji in person, seated on a throne as the central figure of a satsang.
