A photograph of a seated man in saffron-brown robes with a long dreadlocked, swept-back hair and full beard, wearing a white-and-green-flower garland and rudraksha-style beaded mala, sits on an ornate red and white throne-like chair while placing his hand on the head of a young boy in white kurta. Probable Swamiji, identified by long hair, saffron robes, mala and garland, seated on the throne as a presiding teacher. To the left, a bare-chested attendant in white dhoti with beaded mala sits beside them. Behind is a golden deity murti with a trident and a yellow cloth backdrop, a brass trident and kalasha-like stand, and green plants on a side table.
