A photograph of a long-haired man in a rust-red robe walking through a room with wooden chairs and pink upholstered seats. Two gilded arched shrines stand against the wall: the left holds richly dressed deity murtis in red and green cloth, and the right holds a Ganesha murti with an orange-and-gold garment, jewelled ornaments and a purple curtain backdrop. A purple mat and an orange cushion lie on the chairs, and a framed photo hangs above. Swamiji (probable): the long-haired man in the rust-red robe with long dark hair and a rudraksha-style neck mala matches the page's reference, so the candidate is in_person, though appearance cues are partial.
