A photograph of a man with long dark wavy hair seated in front of an ornate gold repoussé throne with a peacock-feather style backrest and round gold studs, against red upholstery. He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder and a long necklace of brown rudraksha beads, with a red tilak on his forehead. His eyes are lowered and he holds both palms raised in front of his chest in a blessing or teaching gesture. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala seated on a golden throne, shown in an appearance-based candidate role as a seated teacher.
