A photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate gilded throne with red velvet armrests. He wears a rust-orange sleeveless robe, a long dark braided turban-style hair bun topped with a silver crescent ornament, and a red bindi with white tilak on his forehead. He is draped in long garlands of white jasmine and marigolds with red flowers, and wears gold bangles on his upper arm and a gold earring. Behind him stands a carved golden pillar with a relief of a bull and a gilded ceremonial backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the long dark hair with a crescent ornament, saffron-orange robe and garlands match the appearance cues, seated on a throne in a satsang setting.
