A photograph of a seated figure in a red-orange turban and saffron-orange robes with a heavy gold beaded necklace, sitting on a throne with gold trim. The figure's appearance matches the page's Swamiji reference through a red turban, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person. In front of him, a kneeling older man in a white striped shirt offers a red apple, with more apples and fruit on a tray. Seated behind them, a bald priest with yellow tilak marks, a rudraksha-style beaded necklace and gold ornaments watches. A standing woman in white with a rudraksha mala and red shawl stands at the right. Brass oil lamps, a golden kalasha-style ornament and a red patterned carpet fill the background.
