A photograph of a smiling man with eyes closed, seated on a red cushioned throne with ornate gold carved backrest and an orange cushion in front. He wears a red-orange shawl with gold zari border over bare shoulders, a long rudraksha mala with multiple beads draped over his chest, and a red-brown tilak on his forehead; his hair is swept back. Facing him from the lower right, a person with short dark hair in a white shirt is seen from behind. A tall brass oil lamp with a flame stands at right against a dark carved background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man shows long swept-back hair, saffron-red ceremonial shawl, rudraksha mala and a throne, cues consistent with the page's identification.
