Close photograph of a smiling man wearing a saffron-orange turban with a gold edging and a red bindi on his forehead. He has long dark hair falling behind his shoulders and is draped in orange cloth with gold borders over bare shoulders, with a strand of brown rudraksha beads hanging on his chest. His right hand is raised in an open gesture as he speaks, while he looks to the side. Behind him is an ornate gold repoussé backdrop with floral and scroll patterns. Swamiji (probable): long swept hair, saffron turban and drapery, and rudraksha mala are visible cues, shown here as a speaking teacher.
