A photograph of an indoor temple-like setting with a richly carved gold throne decorated with red roses, yellow and purple marigold garlands. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a red bindi and a dark rudraksha mala sits smiling on the throne, a red cushion at his side. Behind him, gilded deity figures wearing red garments and jewelled necklaces are visible. In the foreground, an older man with grey hair and a white beard, dressed in white kurta and dhoti, leans in toward the seated figure with one hand on his back. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, cues consistent with the page's claim, while he is seated on a throne.
