A photograph of a man with long, swept-back black hair in an orange saffron robe leaning in close to a framed gold-toned artwork on a black background, pointing at it with his right hand. The framed piece shows gilded figures, including a golden bird-like creature and a golden animal form, with small round portrait medallions along the bottom edge. Around him stand several people in white clothes; one bare-chested man at the left has a white cord over his shoulder, and another person in white holds the frame edge. The orange-robed figure has distinctive long hair and saffron clothing, qualifying as a probable Swamiji presence.
