A photograph on a stage draped with black curtains. A seated man in a deep red silk kurta with gold trim, a cream turban with a red bindi, and cream dhoti sits on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet back, decorated with yellow, orange and white marigold and jasmine garlands. A white-haired elderly man in white kurta and dhoti kneels before him, bowing with his head touched by the seated man's hands, with a palm resting on the top of his head. Beside them, a man in an orange shawl wearing a gold necklace sits on the stage floor. A white cloth covers the platform, and a floor fan stands at the left edge.

He wears a cream turban with a red mark on his forehead and a maroon silk kurta with gold trim, and he has long, swept-back hair. A kneeling devotee in a white kurta and dhoti faces him with raised hands, touching his knee. The throne is framed by yellow and orange marigold garlands, and rose petals are scattered on the white stage. To the left, a seated man in an orange robe with a gold necklace watches. A dark curtain forms the backdrop. Visible Swamiji cues include the long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklace and garlanded throne; the page identifies him, so he is a probable match.2008-01-07January 07 20082008-01-07January 07 20082008-01-07A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne decorated with yellow, purple and orange flower garlands. He wears a cream turban with a small red mark on his forehead, a deep red silk kurta with gold embroidered trim and a gold-bordered shawl, and cream dhoti-style trousers with a striped border. A younger man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala kneels on the white stage and reaches toward him, touching his clothing. A small figure in orange sits behind, a white fan stands at left and a microphone is visible at right. Two physical people are present. The man on the throne has long hair and a turban and wears ornate clothing with a shawl, a presentation consistent with a candidate for Swamiji, so the identity is probable from appearance cues: Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne being approached by a kneeling devotee.2008-01-07January 07 20082008-01-07January 07 20082008-01-07January 07 20082008-01-07
