A photograph of a smiling man with a full black beard and a black bindi, seated before an ornate gold throne. He wears a rust-brown turban adorned with a gold serpent-shaped brooch and jewelled pins, and a rust-brown garment. He is draped in a pink and white flower garland, layered gold beaded necklaces with rudraksha beads, a gold pendant, and gold armlets and bangles. His right hand is raised in a blessing gesture while his eyes are closed in delight. Probable Swamiji cues: long hair under the turban, ceremonial gold necklaces, rudraksha malas and ornate saffron-toned clothing. The background shows gold-leaf decorative carving and red draped fabric.
