A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, wearing a long white and red flower garland and a rudraksha-style bead necklace with a gold accent, his right hand raised near his face in a gesture. He sits on a golden throne with yellow cushions, backed by a large golden deity murti draped in colourful marigold and rose garlands. Brass oil lamps and a lit lamp wall stand behind him, and a gold ritual vessel is visible at right. The appearance matches the saffron robes, turban, bead necklace and floral garlands cues, and the page labels him as Swamiji, so this is a probable identification, though the image alone leaves this uncertain.
