A photograph of a smiling man with long, dark, swept-back hair seated cross-legged on a red velvet throne against an ornate gold backrest. He wears a red shawl and red dhoti-style garment, a large gold bead necklace with a central gold pendant, and a red bindi on his forehead. Multiple garlands of yellow, white, purple and red flowers frame the throne. He sits with hands clasped in his lap and a microphone stand is positioned beside him. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace, saffron-red sannyasi clothing and throne seating are the qualifying cues for the teacher giving the discourse.
