A photograph of a seated figure on a red cushioned throne wearing an orange-red turban and an orange-red wrap, with a brown rudraksha mala around the neck, holding a small white card or paper toward a devotee. Opposite, a man in white kurta with an orange-red shawl raises his palms, and a woman in orange-red shawl and white floral top also raises her hands in devotion. Standing behind them are several men in white kurtas with orange-red shawls, and a red and gold banner hangs in the background. Appearance cues on the seated figure (turban, rudraksha mala, orange-red clothing) are consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable in-person presence. The scene resembles a mandala or initiation setting, with the kneeling and standing participants.

A seated man in a red-orange turban and rust-orange robe, with a long brown rudraksha mala draped over his shoulder, holds a small white card in both hands while sitting on a red cushioned throne with gold-trimmed carved armrests. Several devotees stand behind and beside him with raised palms in the air, including a woman in a red patterned shawl and red turban, a man in white with an orange-red stole, and a woman in white with an orange stole. A young girl in an orange stole stands at the right edge, and a child's head is visible at the lower centre. A gold-trimmed red throne, saffron and white clothing, and a warm indoor hall setting frame the gathering. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure on the throne, identified by his turban, orange robe and ornate rudraksha mala.2015-07-13July 13 20152015-07-13 +1 copiesJuly 13 20152015-07-13A photograph of a seated figure on a red cushioned throne, wearing a saffron-orange turban, saffron-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, holding a sheet of paper and smiling as they speak to people in front.
