Behind them stands a golden deity murti or throne backdrop decorated with garlands of red, yellow, white and purple flowers. A standing man in white clothing is at the right edge and a fan is visible in the background.

He holds up a folded white paper and reads or hands it over. Facing him, a man in a white embroidered kurta with a red-and-maroon printed shawl stands with palms pressed together in a namaskar gesture. Behind them, a deity murti is draped with multicoloured flower garlands and an orange cloth, with a blue and green skirt below. The setting is an indoor temple-style room with red curtains. Swamiji's presentation matches the probable candidate cues (swept-back hair, orange ceremonial silk, rudraksha mala), so he is identified as Swamiji (probable) in the seated position.2013-11-10A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron dhoti-style wrap with a long thick rudraksha mala draped across his chest, his long swept-back hair and a white tilak on his forehead visible. He sits on a red upholstered seat, eyes closed and smiling, extending his right arm toward a kneeling devotee. The devotee wears a white shirt and a red-orange shawl, palms raised toward him in a gesture of reverence. Behind them stands a deity murti draped in bright yellow, green, red and purple floral garlands, with a red curtain at left. The seated man's appearance matches the page's Swamiji description, with long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate in an in-person setting. A small emblem appears at the top left corner.2013-07-14July 16 20132013-07-16
