Photo of a seated man in a rust-orange robe and long rudraksha mala beads, with a gold chain at his neck, long swept-back dark hair and a full beard, raising a small gold trident-shaped ritual implement in his right hand while holding a gold-tipped wand in his left. He sits beside an ornate silver throne with a red velvet cushion. Behind him, devotees in white and orange-red robes sit on the floor in an assembly hall with pink-tinted walls, a blue tray with a small brass object sits at lower left, and a woman in a red and white garment is seated in the foreground. Because the page indicates he was present and his long hair, ornate gold chain and rudraksha mala match the candidate cues, this is the Swamiji (probable) leading a Mandala process session.
