A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a carved lion base and a golden canopy above. He wears a saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder and a long black rudraksha mala across his chest, with a red bindi on his forehead. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders, and he raises his right hand in a blessing gesture while smiling. A small green, white and red flag stands beside him, and a red-and-maroon cushioned backrest sits behind the throne against a grey-patterned backdrop. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, seated on a throne, consistent with the page's note of his presence.
