A photograph of a seated man in long, swept-back dark hair and an orange saffron robe with an orange sleeveless top, palms pressed together in greeting, facing a woman in a cream salwar-style outfit with a black bun who holds an orange fruit and presses her palms together. Behind them a bald saffron-robed attendant sits, and another orange-robed figure stands. A man in white kurta with glasses presses his palms too. On the white-draped table are rudraksha malas, stacked blue-covered booklets, a sealed envelope, a small digital scale showing 94, and a trident-topped brass item. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, orange saffron robe, receiving greetings from devotees during darshan.
