A photograph of two men seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a tiger-striped cushion base, in front of a dark red curtain. The man on the right, wearing a deep red-maroon sannyasi robe and a long rudraksha mala, sits cross-legged with a raised hand in greeting and a broad smile, a forehead tilak and a microphone stand beside him. The man on the left wears a white dhoti with gold borders and a red waist sash, a long rudraksha mala, a white horizontal forehead band and folded hands in namaste. A ceremonial silver staff with a gold top stands at left. A young woman with a red bindi is partly visible at the lower left. The throne carries gold relief carvings.
