A photograph of a long-haired man in a rust-red robe walking through a room with wooden chairs and pink upholstered seats. Two gilded arched shrines stand against the wall: the left holds richly dressed deity murtis in red and green cloth, and the right holds a Ganesha murti with an orange-and-gold garment, jewelled ornaments and a purple curtain backdrop. A purple mat and an orange cushion lie on the chairs, and a framed photo hangs above. Swamiji (probable): the long-haired man in the rust-red robe with long dark hair and a rudraksha-style neck mala matches the page's reference, so the candidate is in_person, though appearance cues are partial.2017-09-20September 20 20172017-09-20 +1 copiesJune 09 20172017-06-09A figure with long dark hair and a dark brown-red robe stands at left, hands pressed together in namaste near a garland of white and pink flowers, with vibhuti marks on the forehead, facing a shrine.

He wears a gold beaded necklace, a gold pendant, a red tilak on his forehead and long dark hair. Behind him stand several painted statues: a goddess on the left holding a trident-like staff, a seated figure in the centre with garlands and a kalasha-like base, and a standing sage figure in brown with a garland.
