A photograph of a man seated cross-legged in lotus-style posture on an ornate white silver-toned throne-like seat in an outdoor courtyard with tropical plants behind him. He wears a leopard-print headband, a long dark braid, a rust-red robe, multiple rudraksha malas, a gold chain and matching red-gold armbands. Beside him stands a small white throne with a deity murti and garland. At right a flame rises from a fire pit, with a second person standing in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, ornate gold adornments and saffron-red clothing, indicating a presiding teacher during the fire ritual.
