A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne-style chair on a stage, in front of a green banner reading "Yoga Sutras" with a small yellow yoga-pose figure between the words. He wears a white turban, a gold-coloured dhoti-style wrap and a long gold rudraksha-style mala necklace, sitting cross-legged with palms pressed together in namaste. A microphone stand stands beside him, a white pedestal with a flower vase is to his left, and dark blue curtains form the backdrop. Appearance-based cues are limited to the turban and gold mala, so identity is uncertain.
