A photograph of a seated man on an ornate golden throne with red cushions, wearing a deep maroon-red shawl over his bare shoulders, a rudraksha mala necklace and a pink-and-white flower garland. He has white tilak on his forehead and a neat beard and long hair tied back, smiling as he reaches toward a silver tray. A woman kneeling at right in a blue and green sari with gold jewellery and glasses offers the tray holding flowers and small silver vessels. Behind him, a standing man in white dhoti and shawl with rudraksha beads, and another figure in saffron-orange robes, stand near golden carved pillars. Small silver dishes with flowers and fruit sit on the floor in front. The scene suggests a devotee's offering during a ceremonial setting. Cues for the seated man include the long swept-back hair, maroon shawl, rudraksha mala and garland on a throne, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate.
