A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a tiger-skin cloth draped over the seat, smiling and raising one hand toward a kneeling man in a white shirt at left. The seated figure wears a rust-red turban with a jewelled ornament, rust-red robes with saffron trim, a yellow marigold garland and a long beaded necklace with a gold pendant. A bald man in rust-red and saffron robes kneels at the right, touching the throne. At far left a bare-armed man with yellow markings sits beside a painted backdrop of a multi-tiered temple and palm tree in orange sky. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's turban, rudraksha-style beaded necklace and ornate throne fit the page's Swamiji claim, so this is an appearance-based candidate.

A child in white is held by an adult in orange at right, and a small oil lamp stands at far left.
