A photograph on a stage with pink and silver draped curtains and a decorative gold metal panel. A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on the forehead, an orange-saffron robe, gold bangles and a red-and-white flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions, smiling. A man with a shaved head in a white shirt and white dhoti bows forward and touches the seated figure's hands, which are clasped with the bowing man's hands. A woman in white stands behind them, and a man in a light checked shirt stands at the right edge. Marigold and rose garlands decorate the throne and a white-draped table. The seated figure matches Swamiji (probable) by long hair, saffron robe and ornate throne, and is seated in the role of the one being honoured; the bowing man is a devotee in white.
