A photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair, wearing a rust-red robe, a dark rudraksha mala, a ceremonial gold pendant necklace and a green leafy garland, seated before an ornate gold throne-like chair. A red tilak mark is on his forehead and he smiles warmly. In the foreground at left, a man in a white striped shirt has his hand raised to the seated man's face, as if giving a blessing or touch. Red and yellow fabric hangings are visible in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
