Photograph of a seated man in a rust-brown robe and gold ornaments on an ornate silver chair, with a red cushion beneath. He wears a leopard-print headband over long dreadlocked hair, a red tilak on his forehead, a long gold bead necklace, a gold pendant, a gold armlet and a bead bracelet. He smiles and reaches toward a small golden lion-shaped object held by a young man kneeling before him. The kneeling young man has bare shoulders, an orange cloth, rudraksha beads and a white tilak, and holds up a white paper-like sheet near his forehead. Behind them are orange-clad figures and ornate golden lamp stands in a temple-like hall. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears long dreadlocked hair, a crown-like headband, rust-brown robes and heavy gold ornaments, consistent with ceremonial presentation.
