A photograph of an indoor ceremonial setting with a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a red sleeveless undergarment, long dark hair swept back, smiling broadly, seated on a red zebra-patterned cushioned throne in front of an ornate gold-framed backdrop. A standing young man in saffron robes with a red shawl and a rudraksha mala looks on at left. A man in a white kurta stands before the seated figure with palms pressed together in namaskar, smiling, while the seated figure reaches out to touch him. Woven bamboo mats and green foliage decorate the background. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure, identified by saffron robes, long swept-back hair and throne seating; the attribution is appearance-based only.
