A photograph of a man with long dark hair and a tilak on his forehead sitting on an ornate silver throne with a red velvet seat and cushion. He wears a rust-orange robe with a gold-edged shawl, a long rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, with orange wraps draped over the armrest. Behind him a few seated devotees in white and red garments watch, and a silver ceremonial stand with a serpent-like handle stands at left. The probable Swamiji figure is seated in the centre, with long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, orange clothing and gold adornments, consistent with the page's reference to his homage at a seated gathering.
