A photograph of a seated man in a saffron-orange turban and sleeveless saffron robe with ornate gold ornaments, smiling on an upholstered cream throne-style chair. A white garland of flowers drapes his shoulders and a gold chain hangs at his chest. An older man in white dhoti and shirt leans forward from the right, hands on the seated man's shoulder and garland. Behind them are a red-and-white stage backdrop, gold-framed panel, white pillars and an arrangement of yellow, orange, pink and white flowers at left. Swamiji (probable) cues: saffron turban and robe with ornate gold adornments on the seated figure; the appearance-based identity is uncertain.
