A photograph of a man in a white collarless kurta with a dark rudraksha mala kneeling close to a seated figure in an orange saffron garment and a long dark mala. The seated figure has long dark hair swept back, sits on a red cushioned throne with ornate gold carved backrest, and holds the kneeling man's hands. Behind them a bald man in orange and a woman in orange and yellow stand near a black stone deity murti of Ganesha with a small lamp. A wooden box with red cord and rudraksha beads sits in front. The seated figure matches the Swamiji (probable) description through long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, seated on a throne in a devotional darshan setting.
