Photograph of a smiling man seated before an ornate gold-carved chair with red upholstery, raising his right hand in a blessing gesture. He wears a bright green draped garment with a patterned border and a red bindi on his forehead, and his long dark hair is swept back. A heavy gold necklace of large beaded rudraksha-style pieces hangs across his chest, and he holds a gold ornamental staff-like object in his left hand. Green leaves appear at the left edge. Swamiji (probable) is present in person, based on the long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklace and saffron-green ornate clothing, seated in a throne-like setting.
