A photograph of a seated man in a saffron robe with long dark hair, a tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala around his neck, smiling with palms pressed together on a red throne with gold trim. Before him a man in white shirt and grey trousers, wearing a maroon and gold shawl, sits on a blue plastic chair bowing his head and holding three red apples in his cupped hands. Behind them a standing man in white with a rudraksha mala watches, and brass oil lamps, a kalasha and small painted figures of saints sit on a red-carpeted platform. Probable Swamiji is the seated figure on the throne, identified by his saffron robe, long hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial throne seating.
