A man in a white shirt stands with raised hands in front of him, palms and fingers touching his forehead region, as a woman in white with a red shawl and another woman stand behind.

He has a red tilak on his forehead and gold bangles on his wrists, and is reading a small white paper handed to him by a second man seen from behind in a white striped shirt. A brass oil lamp and a golden bird-shaped finial stand in the background. The seated man is a strong appearance-based candidate for Swamiji (probable), based on the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, gold bead necklace and throne, so the swamiji field is in_person.2012-01-08A standing man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with a long rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders and chest smiles as he places his right hand on the head of a seated man in white clothes.
