A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne (peetha) with a red-and-gold backdrop and a golden trident leaning at left. He wears a deep red-brown robe, a white floral garland, a gold necklace and bangles, and has a red bindi on his forehead. Matching his appearance, with long swept-back hair, a crown-like ornate throne setting and rudraksha-style adornment, this is a probable Swamiji in person. In front, a group of about nine people sit with their backs to the camera: several bare-backed men wearing white dhotis and sacred threads, and a woman in a blue sari beside a woman in a white shawl and orange head cloth. Carved golden lion and dragon-like motifs frame the stage.
