A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe, wearing an ornate gold-and-white crown, gold armbands, a gold necklace and a rudraksha-style mala, extends an arm and points toward a long garland of white flowers held by a young attendant in orange robes and a beaded necklace. Behind the seated figure is a backdrop heaped with yellow, orange, red and white garlands under a purple canopy.

He wears an elaborate floral crown decorated with pink, yellow, blue and green blossoms and a gold ornament at its centre, a saffron-orange robe draped over the shoulders, a white garment beneath, and a heavy gold bead necklace with a gold pendant over a white flower garland. His right hand is raised in a blessing gesture, and the foreground is strewn with pink and yellow petals. The appearance and presentation (long hair, saffron robe, ornate crown and gold necklace) are consistent with the candidate named on the page, so this is labelled Swamiji (probable) seated in darshan-style floral decoration.2006-09-17
