Close photo of a smiling man seated before an ornate gold-embossed backdrop. He wears a maroon and gold jewelled turban with a teal peacock-feather ornament, a red bindi, and an orange saffron shawl over the shoulder. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders, and he wears rudraksha malas with gold beads and a rudraksha armband. Appearance-based cues are distinctive (long hair, ornate turban, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas), but no identity is asserted from the face.2011-10-24October 24 20112011-10-24October 24 20112011-10-24October 24 20112011-10-24A smiling man sits cross-legged on a richly carved golden throne with an arched backrest decorated with ornate floral and lion motifs. He wears a red and maroon turban with a peacock-eye ornament and a red bindi, an orange-saffron dhoti-style garment, a long red and gold beaded mala necklace with a large round pendant, and gold armbands. His right hand is raised in a gesture while he speaks. A purple and pink painted backdrop with a glowing sky stands behind him. The setting suggests a seated discourse or satsang. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ornate mala and ceremonial turban, seated on a throne.2011-10-24October 24 20112011-10-24PhotoAlbum +1 copiesA man stands before an ornate golden arched backdrop carved with floral and figurative relief.

He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a red-and-maroon border, a red-and-gold patterned turban with a blue jewel, a long rudraksha-style bead mala across his chest with a gold ornament at the waist, and orange bangles on his wrists and upper arms.
