A photograph of a bare-chested man seated cross-legged on a leopard-print cloth before a silver ornate throne, raising his right hand in a mudra with fingers curled, while his left hand rests near his chest. He wears a woven brown headpiece studded with golden discs and a tall gold finial, a white vertical tilak on his forehead with a dark central mark, layered gold and silver garlands, a gold armlet and beaded wrist malas, and maroon dhoti-style cloth with a rudraksha-bead waist cord. The Swamiji cues include the ornate crown, layered ceremonial necklaces and rudraksha malas, and the page links him to the event, so this is an appearance-based probable identification. Behind him is a dark green backdrop with a glowing red arch.
