A man with long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, and a gold necklace stands smiling beside a golden trident, wearing a rust-red kurta with a lace-up neckline and a matching wrapped sash and dhoti-style trousers. He holds a tall bamboo staff in his right hand. Behind him hang strings of lit small lamps against a dark stone wall, and a large gold deity murti or carved figure and a golden bull figure appear at the frame edges, along with a brass bell. Swamiji (probable) appears in person: the long hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron-red ceremonial clothing match the candidate cues.
