A photograph of a bearded man standing in front of an ornate golden throne-like backdrop with jeweled embellishments, a golden crown-like headpiece, and a silver trident leaning to the left. He wears a rust-orange saffron robe, a wide gold-coloured waist belt, multiple beaded malas and a gold pendant necklace, and gold bangles; he raises one hand in greeting. Two seated figures in glittering ornaments flank the throne behind him, and oil lamps glow in the lower left and a small fire or flame appears at the lower right. The setting appears to be a stage or altar-like tableau with warm lighting. Probable Swamiji in person, with saffron clothing, ornate gold necklaces and a crown cues.
