A seated man with long dark hair falling past his shoulders sits with eyes closed and hands folded in his lap on a red and gold upholstered throne-like chair. He wears an orange saffron wrap draped over one shoulder with a gold-bordered edge and a long ornate gold necklace of large beaded spheres with black bands, plus a small red mark on his forehead. Behind him a gold ornamented chair back is visible, and a brass plate with offerings sits at the lower left. The photo is a close side view, and the figure has distinctive saffron clothing, long hair and ceremonial gold beads, so this is an appearance-based Swamiji (probable) seated in meditation.
