A photograph of a seated man in a rust-red turban, rust-red robe and layered rudraksha mala with ornate gold necklaces, raising one hand in blessing toward a kneeling older man with grey hair and beard. The kneeling man wears an orange shawl with white and orange garlands and presses his palms together in anjali. Behind them, a man in white dhoti and shawl stands with a rudraksha mala and vibhuti marks, and another man in white dhoti with bare chest and rudraksha beads stands at left. Yellow and red floral garlands decorate the background wall, and the seated figure sits on a golden throne-like chair. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and distinctive gold necklaces, a probable Swamiji cue.
