A seated man in a cross-legged pose on a deep red velvet cushion, bare-chested with white ash markings on his forehead and arms and a red bindi between the brows. He wears layers of brown rudraksha beads draped across his shoulders and chest, a long rudraksha and red bead mala, and a heavy gold pendant necklace with an ornate figure. Maroon dhoti-style cloth covers his legs with gold border trim. His hands are open in a teaching gesture, and he smiles. Behind him stands an ornate silver-and-gold embossed panel with lion-face motifs. Visible overlay text reads a pedia.org. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces, seated on a throne-like cushion
