Behind them is a golden decorated backdrop and a silver trident at right. Two people are visible. The seated man is a candidate with several cues: swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklace and ornate tiger-print cloth, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person.2013-12-18A long-haired man in a tiger-striped garment and a rudraksha mala with a small red tilak on his forehead raises his right hand to bless the bald head of a man in white ritual clothes with a red shawl and saffron-orange sash.
