A photograph taken on a stage with a red backdrop, showing a man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved red cushions. He wears a rust-red turban with a jewelled ornament, a saffron-orange robe, a gold necklace and a long garland of red and white flowers, and sits with eyes closed. Beside him stands a gold-finished trident and a red and orange canopy with tassels. In front, a bare-chested attendant with a white ritual garland and an older man in white clothing with folded hands are seated, with a brass oil lamp nearby. Several other people sit in the lower right foreground. Probable Swamiji cues include the turban, saffron robe and ceremonial gold necklace on the throned figure, who is seated as an honoured teacher.
