A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead sits smiling on a cushioned, gold-trimmed throne-style chair in front of a shimmering dark gold backdrop. He wears a cream and gold embroidered kurta with a white shawl draped over one shoulder and a long orange rudraksha-style bead mala hanging to his waist. A silver trident rests against the chair's arm at left. The man is the only person visible, and the photograph is a candid moment of him seated on the dais. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, orange beaded mala, shawl and ornate clothing seated on a throne.
