A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gilded palanquin-throne decorated with marigold and white flower garlands, under an orange and blue canopy with tassels. He wears a tall golden crown set with red and green stones, an orange robe, and a magenta-pink shawl draped over his shoulders, with white tilak marks on his forehead. A camera operator on the left holds a video camera, and a man in white clothing sits at the lower right beside a large black speaker. Brass finials and a decorated kalasha-like urn appear behind him. The setting suggests a procession. Swamiji (probable) is identified from his crown, orange robe and garlanded throne, as the seated figure in a palanquin procession.
