A blurry photograph of a man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushioned back. He wears an orange sleeveless robe under a thick garland of red flowers and white blossoms, with a red bindi on his forehead, and his hands are held together in front of him. A second man in a white shirt and cream shawl leans forward from the right, bowing toward him and reaching toward his hands. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back dark hair, orange robes, a flower garland and a ceremonial throne, which are the qualifying cues for the page's claim. The scene resembles a devotee paying respects during a formal seated reception.
