A seated man with closed eyes and palms pressed together in namaskar sits cross-legged on a red velvet cushion on an ornate gold throne. He is bare-chested and wears a red-brown dhoti, a tall black turban-like crown, white forehead markings, and layered rudraksha malas with a gold ceremonial pendant. Behind him stand gold statues of a multi-armed goddess on the left and a figure playing a veena on the right, with crescent-topped gold finials and a gold drape behind. A small microphone is positioned near his face. The appearance of this man, with a tall crown, rudraksha malas and gold adornments, suggests Swamiji (probable) in a seated satsang setting; the image is a photograph.
