A man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne, raising his right hand in a blessing gesture while his left rests on his lap. He wears a red turban with a red bindi, red sleeveless draped garments, a white beaded necklace with a gold pendant, a long gold chain with dark beads and a gold deity-emblem pendant, and a beaded wrist band on his upper arm. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: red turban and ornate gold-and-rudraksha-style adornments; the page indicates Swamiji attended this event, and the throne setting is visible. The photograph is a discourse-style portrait of a seated teacher against a plush red throne backrest with carved gold trim.
