A close portrait photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne. He wears an orange turban decorated with a jewelled brooch and peacock-feather ornament, an orange shawl draped over his shoulder, and a maroon robe edged with gold border. He has multiple strands of rudraksha and gold beads around his neck and a red tilak on his forehead. He holds a silver staff topped with a bird figure. Swamiji (probable): the saffron-orange turban and shawl, maroon robe, layered rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace, seated on a throne, match the appearance-based cues for the presiding teacher.
