A photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing an orange-red turban, an orange-red shawl with gold border, and long brown rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. He reaches toward a baby in a blue outfit held by a woman in a white sari with long dark hair who leans in from the right. Another woman is partly visible at the far right edge. Red tiger-stripe fabric covers the throne and a gold-and-red backdrop of drapery is behind. The man appears to be the Swamiji (probable) based on the orange-red turban and saffron-toned robes, rudraksha necklaces and throne setting, though the appearance is not definitive.
