A photograph of a seated man in meditation posture with eyes closed, bare-chested and painted with white horizontal stripes across his chest, arms and forehead, with a dark red bindi on the forehead. He wears layered gold chains, a large gold pendant and ornate gold necklaces, rudraksha bands on his upper arms and wrists, and maroon trousers with gold border trim. His hands rest in his lap on a deep red velvet cushion, and behind him stands an ornate silver-embossed backdrop. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha bands, ceremonial gold necklaces and ornate attire, shown in a meditative seated pose.
