A man with long swept-back black hair sits before an ornate gold repoussé backdrop, raising one hand in a teaching gesture. He wears a sleeveless yellow garment draped over one shoulder, multiple strands of rudraksha beads, a pearl necklace with a gold bead, rudraksha armbands, and a red bindi with a vertical tilak on his forehead. Swamiji (probable) is indicated by the long hair, saffron-yellow robes, rudraksha malas and gold ceremonial ornaments, shown here as a seated speaker during a satsang.
