A photograph taken indoors of a seated man in profile on the left, wearing a rust-orange shawl over the shoulder, a rudraksha mala necklace of brown beads, and a gold-patterned maroon and cream garment. He sits on a raised seat beside a silver-tipped staff with yellow finials. Behind him stands a white floor air cooler and a pink wall, with a person visible through a window. In the foreground, two people in white clothes with red-orange shawls sit with their heads bowed, and a shaved-head person is partly visible at the bottom edge. The seated man has long swept-back hair and distinctive rudraksha and shawl cues, so he is a probable Swamiji in person, while the bowing figures are devotees.2013-05-27April 15 20132013-04-15 +1 copiesA seated woman with dark hair in a low bun wears a maroon and cream silk garment with gold patterning and a beaded necklace, holding open papers and reading or offering them.
