Photo of two men seated before an ornate silver-embossed throne with a carved lion head. On the right, a man with long swept-back hair, a forehead tilak, a full beard and an orange-saffron long coat over a rust-orange dhoti sits with palms joined in namaste, smiling. On the left, a bald older man with a grey beard, wearing a white kurta, also sits with palms pressed together in greeting. Gold ornaments are visible on the right figure. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in the orange robes with long hair and tilak, shown receiving devotees at a darshan.
