A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sitting on an ornate gilded throne with red velvet cushions, eyes closed, with a red tilak on his forehead and long swept-back hair. In the foreground a man in white clothing with a shaved head holds up a lit oil lamp toward him, and another hand holds a lamp at the right edge. Trays of flowers and small offering bowls sit at the base of the throne, and a red and yellow floral garland hangs behind the throne. The scene suggests a padapuja-style ritual with an aarti lamp offering. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala match the appearance cues of the page's subject, and he is physically present in the photo.
