A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a tiger-skin-covered swing in a decorated temple-style hall. He wears a golden crown, an orange-and-maroon garment, a gold necklace, a white flower garland and a rudraksha-style mala, with his palms pressed together in greeting. The swing is draped with red, pink and white flower garlands hung from chains. Behind him stand two large painted deity statues, one in gold and one in orange, beside a golden pillar and a yellow wooden door. Brass oil lamps stand in front, and a silver vessel with a small offering sits beside the swing. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a crown, ornate gold jewellery, a garland and a mala, consistent with a ceremonial presentation on the swing.
