A photograph of a long-haired, bearded man seated cross-legged on an ornate silver throne with a red velvet back, in a rust-orange dhoti-style wrap with a matching shawl and a long rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders. His forehead bears white vibhuti with a red dot, and his eyes are closed as he sits in meditation, one hand resting on the armrest. Before him stands a small wooden table with a DTX electronic drum unit, a copper water vessel and a microphone stand. A striped woven rug covers the floor, and a seated audience dressed in white and orange-trimmed robes fills the hall behind him, with a red-and-white banner partly visible on the wall. Swamiji (probable) is shown here as the central figure, identified by the rudraksha mala, long swept-back hair and the ornate throne seat.
