A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a gold border, wearing a long beaded necklace and a white tilak on his forehead, seated on a red cushioned throne with ornate gold carving. He smiles and holds a small object near his mouth while extending his other hand toward a bald man in a white dhoti and orange-red shawl who kneels on a striped woven mat and offers something on a leaf. A metal tray with betel leaves and a conch-shaped object sits on a brass table in front. A woman in a red sari with a red bindi sits behind on the left, and backdrop panels with scroll-style printed text hang behind them. Two people are visible, and the seated man in saffron is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues including long swept-back hair, a crown-like tilak and rudraksha-style beads.
