A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair, a bare chest under a red-orange wrap, and a leopard-print cloth draped over his lap, placing his right hand on the forehead of a standing man in a white kurta with a red-and-white printed shawl. The seated man sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved backrest. The standing man has a pale marking on his forehead and his eyes are lowered. Behind them are gold-decorated deity murti figures, green foliage, orange flowers and a brass staff. The seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair, a ceremonial wrap and adornments, which matches the Swamiji (probable) candidate, shown here as a blessing or darshan moment.
