Photograph of a seated figure in a red-orange turban and matching saffron-orange shawl, wearing a pink flower garland, gold ceremonial necklaces and bangles, smiling broadly as they reach out to rest a hand on the shoulder of a man kneeling in front of them. The kneeling man wears a white shirt and has short grey-streaked hair. Behind them, a standing attendant in orange robes holds a gold-coloured ornate box, and another person in white stands beside a red-orange shawl with rudraksha beads. The seat is ornate gold with a maroon cushion and a patterned carpet lies on the floor. The seated figure has crown-like turban, saffron clothing and rudraksha-style beads, matching probable Swamiji cues, so the candidate is labelled Swamiji (probable) and seated in a ceremonial setting receiving a devotee.
