A photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne chair in a shrine room, raising his right hand palm-up toward the upper left while gazing upward. He wears a rust-orange (saffron-brown) robe, a heavy gold necklace with a large gold pendant, a long rudraksha-style mala with dark beads, and a white vibhuti horizontal band with a red kumkum dot on the forehead. Behind him stands a gilded deity murti draped in yellow and white cloth, flanked by tall gold lamp stands and a gold kalasha-style lamp. Green cloth covers the table beside him, with green leafy foliage and red flowers arranged around the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back dark hair, a full beard, a crown-like adornment absent but ceremonial gold necklace and rudraksha mala, matching the page's identification.
