A photograph of a bearded man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits cross-legged on a golden bull statue draped with a tiger-striped cloth, smiling and holding a handheld microphone in his right hand while his left hand rests on his knee. He wears a rust-red sannyasi-style robe with a matching wrap over one shoulder. Beside him a silver staff leans against the bull. Behind him a large audience sits in a white tent, with women in yellow, white and maroon saris and shawls, several wearing glasses. Swamiji (probable) is seated centrally, identified by long swept-back hair, a red robe and a seated position on a ceremonial bull throne.
