A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne in a temple-style hall, hands joined in namaste. He wears an orange-saffron robe with a rudraksha-style mala and a white floral garland, and has a white tilak on his forehead. Behind him are large garlands of yellow, red and orange flowers draped around two silver-clad deity murtis. Gold lion heads, trident-shaped staffs and a kalasha-like stand flank the throne. Around him, several women and men in white and cream clothes with red shawls sit or bow with hands folded on the floor. A fan and garlanded images appear at the edges, and a painted temple backdrop surrounds the scene. Possible satsang or puja setting. The seated figure shows distinctive saffron robes, a mala and long hair, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate, seen in person.
