A photograph of a long-haired man in a white shawl and unstitched white dhoti sits on an ornate gold-carved throne with red upholstery, wearing a heavy gold bead necklace and a gold armlet. He raises one hand toward a lit oil lamp held by a second man in a white shirt who leans in from the right, while a gold trident and a gold kalasha-style vessel stand nearby. Behind them are a draped deity murti in blue and pink cloth, white flower garlands, and a dark blue curtain. The scene suggests an aarti being offered in a temple-style setting. The seated man is identified as Swamiji (probable) based on his long swept-back hair, gold ceremonial necklace and shawl, and the throne setting.
