A photograph of a seated man in an ornate golden throne with a red cushioned seat, wearing orange-saffron robes, white and pink flower garlands, and a red tilak on his forehead, with his eyes closed in meditation. His bare feet rest on a plate of flowers as devotees offer padapuja. Brass oil lamps with flames stand in the foreground. Behind him are deity murti figures dressed in blue and red garments and a painted backdrop of a mountain and gopuram temple tower. Two people in the lower right, one in an orange shawl, observe the ritual. Attributed to Swamiji (probable) by the page, the seated figure shows orange robes, long hair, flower garlands and throne cues, so identity is plausible but not certain.
