A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a large white upholstered armchair in front of a painted backdrop of rocky mountains with red and green foliage. He wears an orange turban, an orange-and-gold draped robe, and a long rudraksha mala, with a red tilak on his forehead and his eyes closed. A printed book rests at the side of the chair. Appearance-based cues of long swept-back hair, a turban, orange clothing and rudraksha beads are consistent with a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in a throne-like setting at a mass initiation event in Salem, Tamil Nadu, 2004.
