A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair and a long rudraksha-style mala draped over the shoulders, sitting on a red cushioned seat before a deity murti decorated with a tall garland of yellow, orange, red and purple flowers and a gold crown. A young man in a white t-shirt with a red lanyard and an orange turban kneels and offers something with both hands toward the seated figure. A small child stands behind him, and a standing fan and pink curtain are visible in the room. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, saffron robes and a mala, so this is a probable Swamiji appearance seated in person.
