A photograph of a seated figure with swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange-brown shawl, a red and yellow rose garland, and bangles, holding a red apple and smiling. He sits on a leopard-print cushion beside a gold lion-form seat. A young man with light, tied-back hair in white ritual clothes and a rudraksha mala kneels before him, holding up a printed photograph. Behind them a gold horse-headed seat with garlands, brass lamps with flames, and a standing attendant in white. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure shows long swept-back hair, an orange shawl, a rose garland and ornate bangles, matching the page's Swamiji reference.
