Two men sit on ornate white-and-red thrones before a large gold carved backdrop with red curtains. The man on the left wears a saffron-orange robe with a shawl and dark rudraksha beads, hands folded in his lap, with long dark hair and a beard. The man on the right wears a rust-brown robe, a matching brown turban, a heavy gold ceremonial necklace, and gold armlets, with long dark braided hair, eyes closed and seated near a microphone. A small white table holds a bouquet of flowers and fruit between them, and a red carpet covers the floor. The seated figure on the right is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues of brown robes, turban, long hair and gold necklace; this is an in-person photo.
