A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate silver throne draped with a leopard-print cloth, eyes closed in meditation. He wears a rust-red sleeveless top and matching trousers with a leopard-print waist sash, multiple rudraksha malas around his neck and upper arms, a gold pendant necklace, and a white crescent ornament in his dreadlocked, turban-style hair with a white and black forehead mark. Before him is a dark stone mortar with yellow powder and grinding pestles, surrounded by green herbs, a basket, bowls of yellow powder and a stone grinding slab, consistent with preparing herbal medicine. A microphone stand is visible at right against dark foliage. Probable Swamiji appearance cues: long swept-back dreadlocked hair, crescent crown ornament, rudraksha malas and gold necklace, while performing the herbal preparation rite.
