A photograph of a seated man in a rust-orange robe and orange jacket with a white forehead marking and red bindi, wearing a gold pendant, seated on an ornate silver throne flanked by two silver lion sculptures and a leopard-print cushion. Beside him, a bare-chested young man in a white dhoti with a yellow border and a pendant necklace sits with palms pressed together in namaskar, smiling. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne with long swept-back dark hair, saffron ceremonial clothing and a gold necklace. The ornate silver backdrop and carved lions suggest a formal darshan setting.
