A photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair and a full beard, wearing a rust-brown robe and a garland of pink and white flowers with beads, seated on an ornate gold-carved throne with a red cushion. A white horizontal tilak and a dark vertical mark are on his forehead, with rudraksha mala strands on his chest. In the foreground at right, a man in a white T-shirt faces away from the camera, reaching toward him with his hand. Red thread is tied at the wrist. The seated man is described as Swamiji (probable) based on his long hair, saffron-brown robe, rudraksha malas and ceremonial garland, while the throne and gold backdrop show a formal ceremonial setting.
