A photograph of a seated figure with long, swept-back dark hair wearing saffron-orange robes and draped orange cloth, sitting on a white-covered chair atop a red patterned rug. Facing him, a devotee kneels on a mat in white ritual clothing with a gold-bordered white shawl and orange stole, holding his hands in a gesture of reverence. Two more people stand at the edge of the frame, one in a cream sari, on a plain white hall floor with a green-edged woven mat. The seated figure's long hair, saffron clothing and ornate presentation match the Swamiji (probable) cues, so he is described as the probable Swamiji receiving devotion.
