Photo of a temple hall with a seated man on an ornate gold throne raising his right hand in blessing. He wears saffron-orange robes, an orange turban, a long gold-and-beads necklace and gold bangles. Beside him stands a painted statue of a multi-armed deity with a golden crown, gold jewellery, green shawl and red dhoti, holding objects in its hands. A seated devotee in a brown kurta faces the throne, with a blue-clad woman and a child in purple at the right edge; hanging brass oil lamps decorate the top of the frame. The man's appearance with saffron robes, turban, gold necklace and throne matches the page's Swamiji context, so this is an appearance-based probable identification of the seated figure as Swamiji (probable), in person.
