A photograph of a man seated in an orange upholstered armchair in a temple courtyard. He has long, swept-back dark hair, a small red tilak on his forehead, and wears an orange saffron robe draped over his shoulders with a dark rudraksha mala around his neck. His hands rest folded in his lap. Behind him are brass kalasha-style vessels and lamps, a red-and-white painted wall and carved grey stone pillars. On the left, a wooden tray holds sweets, fruit including red apples, and small packets. Appearance-based cues including long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala suggest Swamiji (probable) seated in person as a devotee-facing guest at a ritual setting, though identity is uncertain.
