In the foreground a bare-backed, shaved-headed devotee in a white dhoti bends forward with white paste on his shoulders and back, while another person's hand holds a small brass item at the left edge. The appearance of the throned figure matches several cues for Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate ceremonial gold necklace and saffron-red garments, so he is identified in the description with that label and the setting is a diksha initiation scene.2017-04-26May 05 20142014-05-05January 21 20182018-01-21 +1 copiesAugust 13 20172017-08-13 +1 copies
