A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, with long dark hair, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a red bindi, sitting on an ornate dark-and-gold throne in front of a banner with large Tamil script. Several devotees in the foreground, including a woman in a yellow-bordered white sari with a braid and a man in a green shirt and glasses, are bent forward with heads lowered, apparently offering reverence. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure with a turban, long hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala is a candidate for the teacher, shown in a position of honour on a throne amid devotees. Fruit is visible at the edge of the throne.
