A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with carved lion and floral motifs, backed by a deep blue drape and garlands of yellow and red flowers. He wears an orange turban with a red bindi, an orange shawl draped over bare shoulders, a rudraksha mala and gold ceremonial necklace, and gold armbands. His right hand is raised in a teaching gesture while his left rests in his lap. Pink flowers sit in baskets on either side. Swamiji (probable): the orange robes, turban, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments match the candidate's appearance, and he is seated on a throne delivering a discourse.
