Close-up photograph of a man seated with eyes closed in meditative stillness before an ornate gold throne with repoussé floral and scroll carving and round gold knobs along its top. He wears a saffron-orange shawl wrapped over one shoulder, long dark swept-back hair, a red kumkum dot and white vibhuti marks on his forehead, and dark rudraksha mala beads along with a white flower garland draped over his shoulders. Red and yellow fabric is visible in the blurred background. Based on the page's Swamiji flag and the distinctive saffron clothing, long hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial garland, this is Swamiji (probable) seated in meditation during a padapuja event.
