A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes on a gold-carved throne with red velvet cushions, holding a toddler in blue top and jeans on their lap while the child's foot is touched. A man in a white kurta and beige trousers with a rudraksha-style mala stands before the throne with hands clasped, head bowed. Behind them a man in orange robes stands beside a white table holding a tray with red compartments, apples, beads and a water bottle. A colourful temple-pattern hanging backdrop and a wooden pillar complete the scene. The seated figure has long dark hair and ornate gold earrings; the likeness fits the Swamiji candidate appearance cues (long hair, saffron clothing, ornate gold adornment, throne) and matches the page's claim of Swamiji's presence, so this is a probable identification from appearance only.
