A photograph of a seated man in yellow silk robes and a heavy gold necklace, hands pressed together in namaste with eyes closed, on a golden throne framed by a large arch of red, yellow, white and purple flower garlands. A red bindi marks his forehead and long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Two women in white and cream saris, one with a red sash, sit with their backs to the camera in front of him, and a partly visible person sits at the far left. A brass oil lamp with a lit flame stands at the right beside a floral-decorated base. Dark blue drapery forms the backdrop. The setting suggests a satsang or darshan. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne, identified by the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and yellow robes.
