A seated man with long swept-back dark hair, a white horizontal tilak with a red vertical mark, a red-orange shawl and a gold necklace sits before an ornate gold-leaf throne with a leopard-print cushion. He looks down with a gentle smile while holding a small printed card. Two people with their backs and sides partly toward the camera sit in front of him: one wears a white-and-yellow garment, rudraksha bracelets and white body markings, the other is bare-chested with a white sacred thread. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the central seated figure, distinguished by his long hair, saffron-orange shawl, gold necklace and ceremonial throne setting, during a Nithya Kriya Yoga darshan.
