A photograph of a seated figure with eyes closed, hands folded in lap, wearing a rust-red turban with a small trident emblem, rust-red shawl over bare shoulders, gold ornate necklace, rudraksha mala, gold armlets and a leopard-print cloth. He holds a tall gold trident and sits on a tiger-striped seat beside a large gold bull statue (Nandi). Behind him hang orange and red fringed banners and a large screen. Seated devotees in white, orange and saffron clothing fill the foreground and background of a hall. The figure appears as a probable Swamiji, identified by the turban, trident, rudraksha mala and ornate gold jewellery, seated in an ceremonial meditation posture during a satsang setting.
