A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gilded throne with a tiger-striped cushion, inside a decorated shrine room lit by many oil lamps. He wears an orange-saffron robe, a long rudraksha mala and a multi-strand pearl necklace, with a white-and-red forehead marking, and raises one hand in blessing. Oil lamps in the foreground are being lifted by unseen hands, and two attendants in white and orange kneel near the base of the throne. Appearance-based cues including long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and ceremonial pearls match the page's reference to Swamiji (probable), seated in a position of honour.
