A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, smiling broadly with a dark beard, wearing a rust-red turban with a vermilion bindi, a rust-red robe draped over the shoulder, rudraksha-style beaded bracelets, and layered gold and beaded necklaces with a large pendant. One hand is raised palm-outward and the other rests in his lap. A microphone stand is at right. Behind him are gilded deity figures in ornate headdresses and jewelled garments, and a carved gold panel with a standing figure. A gilded bull figure appears at lower right. Probable Swamiji, seated in the presentation position of a discourse, with the qualifying cues of turban, rudraksha beads and ceremonial gold necklaces.
