Behind them, a large printed portrait shows a seated saffron-robed man with bald head, garlanded with white and red flower necklaces, seated on a golden throne.

In the centre, a person in a dark red turban and red-brown dhoti with a gold-toned necklace smiles and sits beside a bearded sadhu with long hair, a rudraksha mala and a white pearl-style mala, wearing orange robes. Others in orange and saffron sit on low ornate wooden stools with gold and multicoloured inlay, one holding a small white cloth. Gold-trimmed draped curtains and a carved golden pillar frame the scene.2015-09-10 +1 copiesSeptember 10 20152015-09-10Photograph inside an orange-draped tent with three seated people in saffron and orange robes. On the right, a smiling person wears a rust-orange turban with a tilak on the forehead, a rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklaces, and a long dark hair falling behind. A bald man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits to the left, and a woman in orange with a yellow tilak and orange shawl sits in the middle. Yellow marigold garlands lie in the foreground, along with a small orange-wrapped object. Their appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) presentation cues of a turban, saffron clothing and rudraksha with gold ornaments, so the central figure is a candidate.2016-04-23September 20 20152015-09-20
