A group photograph in a wood-panelled room with shelves of figurines behind. A seated figure in the centre wears a red-and-orange sari-style garment, a gold crown, layered flower garlands and a rudraksha-like mala, and raises a hand in greeting; a long garland drapes down from an upright trident-like staff at left. The figure sits on a white cushioned chair with orange cushions, and a small brass oil lamp stands at the lower left. Around the chair, about nine people stand and pose: men in white shirts and dhotis, a woman in a patterned salwar kameez, a woman in a cream sari with pink border, a man with a yellow shirt holding a young girl in pink, and two small children, one in a green shirt and one in a yellow-and-blue dress. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified by the crown, ornate orange garments and garlands.
