A photograph of a seated bearded man with long swept-back dark hair, white forehead markings and a red bindi, wearing a rust-brown robe and a heavy gold necklace with a gold pendant, seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne, smiling as he places his hand on the forehead of a young boy in a white shirt and white trousers who kneels before him. Behind the throne stands a gold deity murti with jewelled ornaments and yellow drapery. To the left, a man in white holds a tall gold trident staff and wears a beaded necklace. A colourful woven rug covers the floor. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the long swept-back hair, rust-brown robe and gold necklaces.
