Photograph taken at night of a seated man on an ornate gilded throne with a tiger-striped cloth draped over the seat and a multicoloured floral arch behind him. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and a gold-embroidered ceremonial top, a long red-and-white flower garland, and a long dark rudraksha-style mala, smiling broadly while extending one arm toward a silver trident. A shaved-headed man in orange robes stands at left, and a cameraman with a camera and a mobile screen is at right, with a bald head in the foreground. Cues that match the Swamiji (probable) appearance: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, a gold ceremonial necklace and a rudraksha mala on a throne.
