Photograph in a dim hall with a golden lion-figured seat in the foreground. A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, gold armbands and bracelets, a multicolour floral garland, and an orange-brown cloth is extending an arm and gesturing with the hand, smiling. Gold-framed ornamental panels and a red backdrop sit behind, and a tall gold-topped staff stands at left. A partially visible person's hands are raised in the lower left. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long hair, ornate gold jewellery and a garland, seated on a throne, though the figure is partly obscured.
