A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver-and-red throne holding a tall silver trident aloft in his right hand while his left hand touches his mouth in a gesture of mantra or invocation. He has long dark hair, a red-brown robe, an orange shawl draped over one shoulder, a gold-toned necklace and a red tilak on his forehead. Flanking figures wear white with rudraksha malas: a bald man with a white forehead mark sits at lower left, a woman in white sits at right, and a figure in white with a red shawl sits at left. A Yamaha keyboard sits on a low table before the throne in a pink-walled hall. The figure on the throne matches Swamiji (probable) by his long hair, orange shawl, rudraksha-style necklace and ceremonial trident; he is shown as the presiding figure in a ritual setting.
