November 19 20112011-11-19A photograph taken indoors in a living room with pale green walls, beige sofas and a leopard-print cushion. On the left, a man with long swept-back hair, an orange robe and a red-and-white sash greets an older bearded man in a red robe with gold trim, the two clasping hands and smiling. The bearded man wears a rudraksha mala and holds an orange cloth bundle. To the right, a boy in a yellow-and-orange checked shirt holds a red shawl, and a man in white stands at the edge. Behind them is a dark banner with gold lettering and a golden statue of a deity playing a flute. The left figure shows distinctive long hair and orange robes, which fits the page's note about Swamiji, so the appearance is a probable match.2011-11-19Four men stand together indoors before a deep red curtain and an ornate gold-and-red throne-style chair.
