A photograph of a figure standing in an ornate golden gateway on a stage set resembling a temple entrance. The man wears a rust-orange kurta and a matching draped wrap at the waist, with a gold necklace and a red mark on his forehead. He raises one arm and holds a long wooden staff in the other hand. The gateway is framed by gilded lion-headed pillars, and strings of lights and small bells hang behind him. Golden trident-topped lamp stands and oil lamps stand in the foreground, with painted blue and pink deity figures and ornamental columns on either side. The scene suggests a satsang or discourse set. Probable Swamiji is shown in the centre, identified by his distinctive long swept-back hair, orange clothing and gold necklace.
