A photograph inside a hall with a red and gold ornate throne in the foreground. A figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron wrap and a white and pink flower garland, sits on the red throne and smiles while receiving fruit from devotees. Devotees crowd close: a woman in a red sari offers a banana, women in pink and teal saris and a man in a striped shirt and orange cloth reach forward. A cameraman with a tripod stands behind, and brass oil lamps stand near the throne. The seated figure's appearance matches the page's Swamiji reference through long hair, saffron clothing and garland, so this is a probable Swamiji in person.

A photograph of a seated man in an orange-red robe wearing a white and pink flower garland, sitting on a red-cushioned throne beside an ornate gold carved structure. He smiles and extends his arm toward a group of devotees who bow with palms pressed together. A woman in a turquoise salwar kameez and a man in a striped shirt and orange scarf lean in, and a woman in a red sari holds up a small offering.
