Graphic-style archive card with an orange background and a framed photograph of two men at an indoor gathering. On the left, an older bearded man in white robes sits with palms pressed together in namaskar, beside a silver-toned murti or statue with a white and orange garland. On the right, a smiling young man wears an orange turban, orange robe and a rudraksha mala, holding pink flower garlands in folded hands. Behind them, other men in white dhotis and shirts stand and sit. A caption on the card reads that the Swamiji is in the presence of his guru, Thiruchi Swamigal, age 24, 2002. The young man in orange is a probable Swamiji candidate from distinctive orange turban, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, though this is an appearance-based label only.
