Photograph of a man seated cross-legged with eyes closed in meditation before an ornate gold throne carved with floral scrollwork and a lion-form armrest. He wears an orange-saffron garment draped over the shoulder, a long brown rudraksha mala across the chest, and a heavy gold necklace with a gold pendant. Gold bangles adorn his upper arms and wrists, and he has a white horizontal tilak with a red dot on the forehead. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders and he has a full beard and moustache. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces seated on a golden throne.
