A photograph of a small blue-walled room decorated with red roses and garlands. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a red turban and a heavy white and green flower garland holds a silver trident upright. Several saffron-clad attendants kneel and stand around, and a shaved-headed attendant in orange cloth stands at left. Brass vessels and offerings sit on a cloth before the seated figure, and women in saffron and white saris and men in white dhotis with orange shawls join palms in devotion. The scene resembles a puja or ritual blessing in a devotee home. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a person presentation by orange robes, turban, garlands and trident, though not conclusively confirmed.

A standing attendant in orange dhoti and rudraksha beads stands behind. Several devotees in white and green clothing kneel before the seated figure, one washing or touching the feet while others bow with heads lowered. Flower petals and garlands cover the seat. The room has pale blue walls, a small window, and a rose-decorated corner. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page reference to Swamiji, with cues of orange ornate clothing, turban and ceremonial garlands, so the identity is probable.2013-06-23 +2 copiesA seated man in an orange-red robe and matching red-orange turban sits on an ornate silver-and-gold throne-style chair, wearing a long white and red flower garland and gold bangles. He holds a silver trident (trishul) upright in his right hand. Around him in a small room, devotees sit on a red-and-orange cloth: a man in a white shirt and dhoti, a woman in a pink top and blue sari with hands joined, a woman in white with a grey braid, a young woman in white, and a young man in a striped shirt. A standing young man in an orange robe with rudraksha beads and a shaved head stands behind the throne. A seated monk in orange at lower right holds a brass lamp-type object, with brass items near the throne and a fan on the left. Walls are white with a small window.
