Close photograph of a man with long dark hair and a red bindi on his forehead, wearing a yellow draped shawl over his shoulders. He wears layered rudraksha malas with gold clasps and gemstone-set ornaments, a white pearl necklace, and rudraksha-and-gold armlets. A golden decorated throne or seat and a lit oil lamp appear at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, yellow saffron-toned draped clothing and layered rudraksha malas with gold ornaments mark him as the seated teacher.
