Photo of a man seated before an ornate golden throne with carved gold panels, a red cloth backdrop and a carved stone pillar at left. He wears a large black braided turban-like headwrap topped with a silver crescent ornament, a red kumkum mark and white vibhuti lines on his forehead, and a small gold earring. His eyes are closed and he smiles slightly. He wears layered garlands of white jasmine and red-yellow flowers with green leaves over a rust-coloured saffron-toned garment, with a gold necklace visible beneath. Presentation cues consistent with Swamiji (probable): the crescent headpiece, braided turban, saffron clothing and ornate throne setting.
