A photograph of a seated man in a red-maroon draped cloth with a bare shoulder, wearing long strings of rudraksha-style beads, a gold ceremonial necklace with a large jewelled pendant, and a gold brooch on the shoulder. He has long swept-back hair, a red tilak on his forehead, and a red thread on his wrist. He sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne, holding a tall silver staff with a crystal finial in one hand, while a silver ceremonial trident-like staff stands to the left and a silver stand with decorative engraving is visible. Behind him, seated devotees in white and orange clothing fill the hall, and a woman in a red bindi sits in the foreground. Probable Swamiji (probable) seated on throne with ceremonial staff, appearance-based cues: swept-back long hair, rudraksha malas, ornate gold necklace and saffron-red clothing.
