A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate silver throne draped with garlands of red, yellow, pink and purple flowers, with a trident-like staff beside it. The seated man has long dark hair, a beard, a red-brown sannyasi-style garment and a leopard-print cloth, with a red tilak on his forehead, and he smiles while a man in a white dhoti and shirt with a red garland presses a hand to his head in blessing. A large brass oil lamp stands at right, and a backdrop shows a starry night sky with a illuminated temple tower. Probable Swamiji cues: long hair, sannyasi-style red-brown garment and ceremonial throne. The scene reads as a puja or blessing ritual.
