Close-up photograph of a man with long, dark, swept-back hair seated in front of an ornate gold throne with embossed floral and bead patterns. He wears a saffron-orange shawl with gold border, multiple strands of rudraksha mala with ceremonial gold-jewelled beads, and a gold armlet. He has white tilak lines and a red-maroon bindi on his forehead, and raises one open palm toward the camera in a blessing gesture. A partial red backdrop is visible behind him. Swamiji (probable) is shown in person, identified by the saffron and gold attire, rudraksha malas, long hair and throne setting.
