A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne draped with a tiger skin, in a richly painted hall with a red velvet valance. He wears an orange-brown robe, a bright orange-red beaded garland with a gold-toned necklace, a red bindi and gold armlets, and appears to be speaking to an audience. Flanking the throne are two large painted and gilded deity murti figures with multiple arms and crowns, one holding a fan-like object. A brass oil lamp with a rooster-shaped top stands at the right, and a brass lamp hangs in the background. A person seated in orange-brown robes, an apparent Swamiji depiction candidate. Probable Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, orange-brown robe, rudraksha-style orange garland and gold necklace, seated on a throne in a ceremonial setting.
