Photograph of a seated man on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushion, wearing an orange-brown robe, rudraksha beads, gold necklace, flower garlands and a white tilak on his forehead; he has long swept-back hair and a beard, and smiles while a bare-chested devotee in a white dhoti with an orange-and-green border leans forward to offer fruit and a small offering from a brass vessel. Nearby stand a woman in a red-and-green sari with a shawl, and two bare-chested men with rudraksha malas in the background; a white air cooler, stacked pink cloths and marigold garlands fill the foreground. The seated man matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long hair, ornate gold, rudraksha and orange clothing, and is receiving puja on a throne.
