A smiling bearded man with long dark hair and a white tripundra on his forehead sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne. He wears a rust-orange unstitched wrap, a thick rudraksha mala draped across his chest and a ceremonial gold-toned staff with a green and white tassel held in one hand. A silver ritual stand with a small vessel sits beside him, and seated devotees in white and orange blur in the background. Swamiji (probable) is shown in the photograph by appearance cues including long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and saffron-orange clothing, seated on a throne as the central figure.
