Close photograph of a man seated in front of an ornate gold throne backrest with carved scrollwork and rounded finials. He wears a saffron-orange shawl with a gold border draped over bare shoulders, and a long ceremonial necklace of gold beads with black bands. He has swept-back dark hair and a red bindi on his forehead, and he gazes to the side with a faint smile. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ceremonial gold beads and a throne setting.
