A seated man with long dark hair wrapped high on his head sits on an ornate gilded throne with a leopard-print cushion, palms pressed together in anjali mudra. He is bare-chested with a saffron-orange cloth draped over his shoulder and lap, wearing a rudraksha mala necklace and bead bracelets, with white tilak markings on his forehead. In front of the throne, a bronze-finished lion sculpture and brass oil lamps with lit wicks and yellow-green threads sit on the cushion, and hanging brass bells with chains decorate the upper frame. Gilded lion heads flank the right side. The setting appears to be a ceremonial hall with string lights.

March 25 20182018-03-25A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange clothing and a tall wrapped dark turban, with a white forehead mark, rudraksha mala beads around his neck and wrists, and palms pressed together in namaste with eyes closed. He sits on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print cushions, beside a gilded lion figure. Hanging brass bells and small oil lamps with lit wicks, decorated with green threads, hang from chains above. A person's hand holding a lit lamp appears at the lower right edge. The seated figure shows distinctive saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and a turban, consistent with the probable Swamiji (probable) candidate in this satsang setting; the presence of a throne and dress alone do not confirm identity.2018-03-25March 25 20182018-03-25A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded golden throne with a leopard-print cushion and silver lion-form armrests.

Hanging brass bells and oil lamps on chains with fairy lights surround the throne, and a brass lamp with flowers rests on a lion pedestal in front. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long swept hair under a turban, saffron-red garments, and rudraksha malas match the page's reference to Swamiji; the presence of a throne and ritual setting alone is insufficient.2018-03-25March 25 20182018-03-25March 25 20182018-03-25A seated man with long dark matted hair wrapped in a bun, a full beard, rudraksha malas and bracelets, and a bare upper body wearing an orange-red shawl, sits on an ornate golden throne upholstered in leopard-print fabric.
