A photograph of a seated long-haired man in a cream embroidered silk kurta with gold trim, touching the face of a man in a white-and-grey striped shirt who leans toward him at close range. Behind them a large red banner shows a smiling man in a white turban and dark embroidered jacket beside the words "SHIVA" and "SUTRAS". Draped fabric, flowers and a silver tray with offerings sit at the right. The seated man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, ornate cream silk clothing, a red bindi); the banner portrait is a depiction, and the printed banner text names Shiva Sutras.
