Close-up photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate golden throne with carved gilt arches behind him. He wears a white forehead mark, long dark hair, a full beard and moustache, rudraksha malas across his chest, a gold chain, and a dark reddish-brown robe. Layered garlands of pink lotus-like flowers, white blossoms, red berry-like beads and yellow marigolds drape over his shoulders. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace visible on a seated presiding figure. Ornate silver-toned throne armrests are at the lower edges of the frame.
