A photograph of a seated man with long, swept-back black hair wearing an orange-saffron garment and a pink-and-white floral garland, with a yellow-and-white striped shirt boy in front of him who holds a string or thread and is tied by an adult hand at his wrist; the seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, so he matches the Swamiji (probable) cues. Behind them a standing man in saffron clothing with a rudraksha-style necklace and orange head cloth watches, a bent-over man in a grey-blue shirt is at left, and a woman in a yellow garment stands at the edge. Gold ornate throne carvings and garlanded flowers in orange and red decorate the background.
