A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair, a rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial necklace, extending his hand to an elderly bald man in an orange shawl who kneels before him with his palms joined, smiling. A standing man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange shawl stands behind them beside a wooden tray of fruit and a stone temple shrine decorated with pink, white and yellow flowers. A young man in white dhoti and yellow shawl walks in the background past a red-and-white striped temple wall. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, shown in a padapuja-style honouring of the kneeling devotee.
