A photograph of a smiling man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved gilded scrollwork and a red cushioned seat. He wears saffron-orange dhoti and a leopard-print sleeveless garment, with long swept-back hair, a white vertical tilak on his forehead, layered rudraksha mala necklaces, red-beaded bracelets, and red earrings. His right hand is raised in a blessing gesture while his left rests on a red-and-gold cloth beside the throne. Small red boxes and a water bottle sit at the edges, with a pink and white draped backdrop behind. The appearance-based cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas make this a probable depiction of Swamiji seated in person.
