A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair wearing a white turban, a gold-and-cream brocade kurta, and a white and red flower garland, smiling broadly. He sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions. A man in a white kurta, wearing a rudraksha-style red-and-beige cord, leans in from the left and places his hand on the turban in a gesture of blessing. Flowers and a red-and-white garland surround the scene. The seated man is a Swamiji (probable) by appearance cues of long hair, saffron-era ornate clothing and a ceremonial gold necklace, shown as a person seated on a throne receiving a blessing; the attendant in white is a devotee or priest.
