A close-up photograph of a bearded man seated before an ornate gilded throne decorated with carved golden scrollwork and figures. He wears a tall reddish-brown embroidered turban with a jewelled gold ornament at the front, a gold crown-like headpiece with a central red stone, and a white horizontal forehead marking. He is bare-shouldered and wears layered rudraksha mala necklaces with a gold pendant and rudraksha earrings. The image carries a copyright overlay in the lower corner. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated subject, shown with long swept-back hair, a turban, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments.
