A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-velvet throne, wearing saffron-orange robes with yellow borders, a long orange-beaded rudraksha mala around the neck, a red bindi on the forehead and long swept-back dark hair, smiles warmly toward a man in a white kurta with a red-and-white thread bracelet and grey hair, who stands with palms pressed together in namaste and holds a folded paper. Behind the throne hang deep red velvet curtains. At right, a woman in an orange sari with yellow border and a long bead necklace stands watching, and a shaven-headed man in a white dhoti with a sacred thread sits on the floor. The seated figure matches the Swamiji appearance cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so this is a probable in-person appearance.
