A photograph inside a domestic living room at a devotee's home. A young man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and a garland of white jasmine and red flowers with a gold necklace, sits on a white sofa smiling and reaching toward a red box of offerings. A middle-aged man in an orange robe with a gold chain and a grey-haired man in a white shirt lean in to present the box. A woman in a purple sari with bangles stands at the left, and a man in white with a rudraksha mala and forehead markings stands behind. A glass display cabinet holds clocks, trophies and figurines, and a television sits against the wall. Swamiji candidate: the seated man in saffron, long hair, garland and gold necklace is a probable Swamiji by these cues, but the face is not visible enough for confident identification.
