A photograph of a seated figure with long dark braided hair, a white tilak on the forehead, gold earrings and a rudraksha mala, wearing a rust-red shawl, placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white dhoti and sleeveless white top, whose hands are pressed together in prayer. Behind them is an ornate gold throne or peetha, with a silver staff and a brass vessel in the foreground. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold ornaments, shown performing a blessing on a devotee.
