Photograph of two seated figures on ornate silver thrones in front of a gold-and-red stage backdrop. On the left, a woman in a rust-orange sari with a white and rudraksha mala and a trishul pendant sits with her hands clasped and smiles; a red-and-gold bindi and kumkum mark her forehead. On the right, a bearded man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a saffron turban, a long ceremonial gold and orange garland and gold bracelets sits on a leopard-print cushioned throne, smiling, with a microphone on a stand beside him. A small brass lamp stands on a silver table between them. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable) seated on the right, identified by a saffron turban, ornate garlands and saffron robes.
