A photograph of a seated man on a red and gold throne with a gold lion-headed armrest in the foreground. He has long dark hair in a braid, a red tilak on his forehead, and wears a rust-orange shawl draped over bare shoulders with a long gold-beaded mala necklace. He leans forward smiling, extending his arm to take a red-threaded wrist offering from a hand reaching in from the right. Behind him are orange and red banners and bamboo panels. The appearance is consistent with the probable Swamiji, given his long hair, orange shawl and ornate gold mala, seated in an honoured position receiving an offering.
