Close-up photograph of a man with long, swept-back dark hair seated before an ornate gold throne with repoussé floral and scrollwork carving. He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange robe draped over the shoulders and a long strand of brown rudraksha beads. He has a red tilak on the forehead and his eyes are closed in meditation. Blurred pink and red floral decorations appear at the top of the frame. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala fit the description, but the identification rests on appearance alone.
