Seated beside him is a bald man with a yellow tilak, glasses and a rudraksha mala over orange-red robes, hands folded. A kneeling man with long hair in a bun and an orange shawl presses his palms together before the throne. Standing behind are people in white and cream dhotis with rudraksha malas and a woman in a blue kurta and red leggings. Behind the throne stands a brass oil lamp and a gilded deity murti. Appearance-based candidate, probable Swamiji (probable), is the figure on the throne, identified by the turban, rudraksha and gold malas and ceremonial dress; the cues are compatible but not fully distinctive.2015-10-12A photograph of a seated figure in a red-orange turban and red-orange ceremonial garment with wide gold border, wearing layered rudraksha malas and a gold pendant, smiling and turned toward a man in a white kurta who leans forward with folded hands and a red thread at his wrist.
