Close-up photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork. He wears a tall black turban-style headdress decorated with a pink circular jewel, a crescent moon ornament and a jeweled central brooch, a white forehead marking with a red bindi, and a small headset microphone at his ear. Multiple layered gold necklaces with coral beads, pearls and rudraksha-style beads cover his chest, over a dark maroon garment. A gold-toned backdrop with drapery fills the background. Lower corner shows a faint copyright credit line. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated on a throne and wearing the jeweled turban, layered gold and coral necklaces and maroon garment.
