Indoor photograph of a man in a white shirt with an orange-brown shawl draped over his shoulders, seen from behind with his arms raised toward a seated bearded man. The seated man wears a white garland, a rudraksha mala and a dark brown-orange garment, with a white forehead line and a dark mark on his brow. He smiles widely and sits before an ornate gold throne with carved relief and a deep red curtain behind. The seated man is a probable Swamiji by appearance, with long hair, a beard, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garland, and he is seated on the throne as the person before him gestures toward him in greeting.
