A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair, a red bindi and rudraksha mala necklaces, wearing a sky-blue draped garment and rudraksha armlets, raising his right hand in a blessing gesture. He sits on an ornate gold-embossed throne with a gold-chased backrest, and a microphone rests beside the armrest. In the lower left foreground, the shaved head and raised hand of another person are partly visible. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, rudraksha malas and sky-blue robe match the page's Swamiji claim, so the figure is identified as a probable in-person presence seated on the throne during a Pada Puja gathering.
