A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-saffron silk robe with long dark hair and beard, wearing a black blindfold over the eyes and holding a dark rudraksha-style mala in both hands, seated on an ornate gold throne with carved lion figures. Behind him a bald man in a rust-coloured robe and glasses leans over the throne, adjusting or tying the blindfold. A white fan and a dark starry backdrop are visible. The orange-robed figure's appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and throne. The shaved-headed attendant is a devotee or assistant.
