A photograph of a seated figure with long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and an orange-red shawl over an ochre garment, smiling as a man in a white shirt kneels before him and drapes a red cloth over his shoulders. A third man stands at right in white dhoti with a yellow border, rudraksha mala, and a red shawl folded over his arm, with a deep red velvet curtain behind. The seated figure's long hair, saffron-toned shawl and ochre clothing match the distinctive presentation cues, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in a ceremonial setting being honoured with a shawl.
