Close photograph of a man with long, swept-back dark hair seated before an ornate gold throne with repoussé floral and scroll carving and round gold knobs. He wears a saffron-orange shawl wrapped over the shoulders and a long rudraksha mala of dark beads, and has a red bindi and white markings on his forehead. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and throne-side seating are the qualifying cues.
