A photograph inside a room with a white wall and a red-upholstered dais. On the right, a long-haired man in orange cloth with a white forehead mark and layered rudraksha and gold necklaces sits on a red throne-like seat, his bare feet resting on a silver plate of offerings. Seated on the floor in white clothes, a bald man with a grey moustache holds his hands together in front of him. Behind them, a second figure in an orange turban and orange robe with a flower garland sits with hands folded on a gold-and-red throne. At the lower edge, partly visible heads of women or girls and a brass lamp with a plate of food appear near the floor. The appearance-based label is a probable match for the presence of Swamiji, given the long hair, rudraksha malas and gold necklace on the seated figure.
