A photograph of a seated figure on a silver-framed throne in a open-sided balcony with a metal mesh railing and a silver trident behind. The seated person wears a deep red-maroon robe with a yellow-gold border, an orange-marigold garland, and a sandalwood-paste tilak on the forehead, and raises one hand in blessing. Four people stand before the throne with hands in anjali: a young man in white dhoti and shawl on the left, a man in a beige shawl over a grey top and pink dhoti, and a man in a beige wrap over a yellow kurta, all bowing. A bald person in orange robes sits in the lower right corner, and another orange-clad figure is partly visible behind. The setting appears to be a temple or ashram darshan, with a bright sky and landscape beyond the railing. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne, identified by the long swept-back hair, ornate gold-trimmed robe, marigold garland, and his role as the one being honoured.
