Outdoor photo on a seaside stone terrace at dusk, with waves and rocks behind. A man with long braided hair and a red-orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with a leopard-print cushion, holding a silver trident. Around him stand and kneel devotees in white ritual clothes, several wearing rudraksha malas, a few holding tall silver staffs with trident tops. A bald man in saffron robes stands on the right, and a woman in saffron stands behind the throne. The scene resembles a group photo with devotees gathered close to the seated figure. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, distinguished by long swept-back hair, saffron robes, a gold necklace and a trident, seated on the throne.
