Indoor photo in a room with bookshelves, a glass cabinet and a framed picture on the wall. A man with a rust-red turban, long dark hair, gold chain necklace and gold armlets sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne with a silver canopy, smiling. A younger man in white kurta with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala stands at right holding a silver tray of folded rust-coloured cloth, offering it. A bearded man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits partly behind, and a small side table holds a basket of fruit. Swamiji (probable): the seated man in the rust-red turban, gold chain and armlets on the throne fits the appearance cues, so he is labelled probable rather than confirmed.
