Close photograph of a man seated before an ornate gilded throne with carved floral motifs. He has long dark hair swept back, a red tilak on his forehead, and wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his bare shoulder with a gold band along the edge. He wears a heavy gold rudraksha-style bead mala across his chest and shoulder, and raises one hand palm-forward in a blessing gesture while speaking. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ornate gold beads and a throne setting, as the page indicates a satsang guided-meditation teaching.
