A photograph of a man standing on an ornate gold stage in front of a golden arch and carved gilded pillars. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and a matching shawl draped over his shoulder, a heavy gold necklace and multi-strand bead malas, and holds a tall silver-gold trident aloft in his right hand. A golden figure of a seated deity with a tiger skin draped behind him, and brass oil lamps stand beside the stage. A small golden animal figure sits at his feet. Probable Swamiji is shown with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, a crown-like headpiece and ceremonial gold necklaces, presented as the main subject of the scene.
