A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-saffron dhoti-style wrap with a gold-bordered shawl, wearing a multi-strand rudraksha mala with a gold ornamental pendant, a white tilak and red bindi, seated on an ornate gold-embossed throne against a red-lettered banner. He raises one hand to touch the chin of a man in a cream kurta who stands in front, while a young woman in a yellow and floral dress leans in with the man's hand resting on her head. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's long swept-back hair, saffron wrap, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold pendant match the page's Swamiji identification, so this is labelled a probable identification based on these visible cues.
