A photograph of a long-haired man seated before an ornate gilded throne with carved golden scrollwork. He wears a white and gold-bordered garment, a long gold bead necklace, and a white forehead marking, and raises one palm toward a balding, grey-haired man in white clothing with a red cord around his neck, who holds his own hand up in return. Orange and yellow marigolds and white flowers fill the background. The seated man's appearance, with long swept-back dark hair, ornate gold jewellery and throne setting, is consistent with the Swamiji (probable) candidate, so the figure is treated as Swamiji (probable) receiving a blessing gesture; this is an appearance-based label only.
