A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver-framed throne with a deep red cushion, wearing a yellow and black leopard-print headwrap, a rudraksha mala with gold pendant, and rust-red robes. His right hand is raised in blessing while a woman in orange robes, with white markings on her arms, bends to wash or touch the foot of an elderly man kneeling before the throne. A second attendant in orange stands at right holding white cords. The scene resembles a padapuja or foot-worship ritual. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair under a headwrap, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace, matching the page's workshop context.
