A photograph of a seated man in red-orange robes on an ornate gold throne with lion-armrests, wearing a long beaded rudraksha-style necklace and gold chain, with long swept-back hair and bare feet. A young boy in a white dhoti with an orange shawl and red-and-gold garland stands before him, offering a small handful of food from a silver tray. Behind them are decorated deity murti figures, including one with a crown and garland, pink flowers at right, and a fan at left. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a beaded necklace and a red-orange robe on a throne, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji; the identification rests on these appearance cues.
