Close photo of a smiling man seated in front of an ornate golden throne with carved floral and scroll patterns. He wears a bright orange turban with a jeweled brooch, an orange shawl draped over his left shoulder and down his chest, and a white dhoti-style top. Multiple strands of rudraksha beads with gold spacer beads hang across his chest, and he wears gold bangles on his arms and wrists. A red tilak mark is on his forehead, and his right hand is open in a gesturing pose as he speaks. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues of the orange turban, orange shawl, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold adornments fit the candidate, seated on a throne as a speaking teacher.
