A photograph of a smiling bearded man with long swept-back hair and a red tilak on his forehead, seated on a light blue patterned cushioned chair. He wears a rust-orange shawl draped over a bare chest and is holding up a printed booklet with a sun-and-figure emblem. A microphone on a stand is in front of him. Behind him stand a tall golden staff and a silver ceremonial rod, a brass oil lamp, a golden trident, and a garland of white flowers and red-and-yellow marigold strands. Swamiji (probable) is seated centrally, identified by the rudraksha-free orange robes, long hair, and ceremonial setting, with a seated attendant partly visible at lower right.
