A photograph of a man standing on a raised stage in a rust-orange and maroon dhoti and shawl with gold border, wearing a heavy gold multi-strand necklace and a gold pendant, gold armbands and a gold waist belt. He has long dark hair with a crescent ornament on his head, a red tilak on his forehead, and holds a pink-and-white trident aloft in his left hand while his right hand rests on his hip. Behind him stands an ornate gold arch with jewelled decorations and a gilded deity murti in the background. A tiger-skin cloth lies on a platform at right beside a glowing brass kalasha-like vessel with decorative flowers. Warm stage lighting fills the scene. A man with long hair, crown-like headpiece, saffron and gold ornate clothing and rudraksha-style adornments is visible, matching the page's Swamiji appearance cues.
