A photograph of a bare-chested man with long dreadlocks wearing a rust-orange cloth wrap, seated on an ornate silver throne decorated with red and orange marigold garlands. He smiles and raises one hand in a blessing gesture. Beside him a woman in an orange sari with white trim sits with a mala, and at the right edge a figure with long matted hair wears a beaded rudraksha-style necklace and holds a tall silver staff. The setting is a temple-like hall with a standing fan and flower-wrapped pillars. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, saffron-orange cloth and a shawl-like wrap, with a throne as the setting.
