A photo of a seated figure in a rust-red turban with a peacock feather and red plume, wearing layered gold and pearl necklaces, gold bangles and an orange-saffron cloth. He reaches into a tray of food with his hand while holding a terracotta pot filled with white substance, seated before an ornate gold throne with a red patterned cushion. A hand from the edge of frame offers a metal plate of sweets. Swamiji (probable): the turban, peacock feather, layered gold necklaces and saffron cloth are distinctive ceremonial cues.
