A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions, against a carved wooden backdrop with floral and lattice panels. The seated man wears a rust-orange robe, a long rudraksha mala, a multicolour flower garland, and a bindi on his forehead, and holds a red apple in one hand. To his left a shaved-headed attendant in orange robes and a rudraksha mala holds apples and rests beside a golden trident. In the foreground a person in a yellow-orange shawl bows with head lowered before the throne, and a bowl of apples sits on the right beside another attendant in orange. Visible people: four, including the bowing devotee and attendants. Probable Swamiji (appearance cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, ornate clothing, and throne setting) is the seated figure receiving the bowing devotee.

The page identifies this as Swamiji (probable), based on the turban, saffron robes and garland cues. He holds a red apple in each hand while a devotee in a red sari and gold jewellery offers apples and a shaved-headed child in white sits in front. Piles of red apples fill the background, and a gold-accented dais and red carpet surround the scene.2016-04-26A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a gold chain, holding a red fruit in his right hand and smiling at the camera.
