A photograph of a man seated on an ornate golden throne with a red cushioned back, eyes closed and smiling broadly. He wears a maroon-red turban with a golden crescent ornament and a gold emblem at the front, a rudraksha bracelet on his arm, a bead mala with a gold pendant, and a large garland of white jasmine and red roses draped over his shoulders. A microphone on a stand is in front of him. Bare-chested with a maroon-red wrap, he appears to be giving a talk. Ornate gold carvings frame the throne behind him. Consistent with a depiction of a teacher in a seated satsang setting. Swamiji (probable) cues: maroon turban, rudraksha, gold ornaments, garland, seated on a throne.
