Facing him, a man in a white shirt bends forward with his hands extended toward him, as if offering greeting or receiving blessing. The man on the throne has a red tilak on his forehead, and a gold bangle on his wrist. The scene appears to be a festival or satsang setting with a red backdrop. Appearance-based cues on the seated figure (turban, orange clothing, long hair, gold necklace) suggest Swamiji (probable) seated on the throne.2010-10-17A photograph of two men in a temple-like setting with gold ornate decor behind them.

A bald older man in orange robes bends forward, holding a yellow fruit and a folded paper or money, offering them toward a seated man in orange robes with long dark hair, a red bindi and a dark rudraksha mala, who raises one hand in a gesture of speech. Behind them are brass lamps, a small brass bell, a kumkum box, and garlands of orange and purple flowers on a deity or altar display. Two younger men in orange stand at the left edge, one with a white forehead mark. A visible cues-based candidate appears in the seated man, with long hair, orange robes, rudraksha mala and a throne-like seat, so the appearance is a probable match; the bald offerer is a devotee.2010-07-15
