A stage photograph before a dark blue draped backdrop. A seated figure in an orange saffron wrap with long dark swept-back hair, a red dot on the forehead and a long rudraksha mala sits on a cream upholstered throne with carved dark wooden arms, looking toward a standing visitor. Three other people surround him: a bald man in white dhoti and an orange shawl with a white tilak on his forehead, a man in a light grey shirt and dark trousers with his back to the camera, and a woman in a white sari with a short dark bob. A partially visible person in white stands at the right edge. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable match for Swamiji, with the saffron wrap, long hair and rudraksha mala as cues, placed on the throne.
