A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a paved courtyard, hands pressed together in namaskar at chest height with eyes closed. He wears a flowing saffron-orange robe draped over his shoulders and torso, and has a white tilak with a red dot on his forehead and dark hair tied back. Behind him stands a red-framed wooden cart with large wheels and a striped cloth on its bed. A small brass vessel sits on the ground at the lower left. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robe, swept-back hair and sannyasi presentation are visible cues, so the seated man is a probable candidate for Swamiji.
