A photograph of a seated man in a rust-red and maroon robe with a red-and-gold jeweled turban, gold necklaces and beaded bracelets, sitting on a red velvet throne with gold carved ornaments, smiling and extending a hand toward a kneeling man in white kurta with folded hands receiving something. Behind them a woman in white with a rudraksha mala stands beside a woman in white with a patterned shawl, and a silver staff rests against the stage. A wicker basket of bananas sits in the foreground beside a gold lion-headed armrest. The setting is a red-draped stage. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a jeweled crown-style turban, gold necklaces and a robe with distinctive ceremonial adornments, matching the page's claim of his presence.
