A photograph of a seated figure in orange robes and a long rudraksha mala being attended in a plain room with blue drapes. Long swept-back hair, a crown or turban, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads are visible, so the seated figure is a probable Swamiji (probable). Two men stand at left: one in white with long tied hair, another in orange-and-white checked shirt holding a clear glass case containing two small brass busts draped in orange cloth. A bald priest in white with orange shawl stands behind, and another in white with yellow shawl stands at back. A woman in yellow sari stands at right. A brass plate of fruit and flowers sits on a side table beside the seated figure.
