A man with dark hair swept back and a red kumkum mark on his forehead sits on a gold-carved throne with a deep red velvet back. He wears an orange robe with a maroon border and a long rudraksha mala of brown beads, plus a thin black thread at his neck. His expression is calm and steady, and he looks off to the side. Swamiji (probable) sits in this setting, with the distinctive orange robe, rudraksha mala and swept-back hair as cues. The image is a photograph of a seated teacher in an ashram-style hall.
