A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver throne with lion-head armrests, in front of a floral garland backdrop of white, yellow, red and purple flowers. He wears a rust-orange wrap over bare shoulders, has long dark hair and a beard, and holds a rudraksha mala that hangs toward a silver tray of flowers. Seated beside him are figures in saffron and yellow robes and white garments, and a small table holds a cup and microphone. In the foreground, several people with dark hair are seen from behind. A backdrop shows temple pillars. Three shaven-headed sannyasi-style men sit nearby. The central figure has distinctive long hair and rudraksha beads, so he is a probable Swamiji, seen in person.
