His hair is long and swept up in a dark crown-like arrangement, and a red bindi marks his forehead. A silver trident-topped staff stands at the left, and a tray of orange marigold garlands sits at the right. Seated audience members in white and orange clothing fill the background.

December 22 20152015-12-22A photograph of a seated man on a gold-and-brown leather throne at a satsang-style event. He wears a rust-orange robe, long rudraksha mala necklaces and a gold pendant, and a red tilak on his forehead; he has a headset microphone and a relaxed smile, one hand resting on the armrest. Gold carved lion heads flank the chair. A tray of marigold garlands sits beside him and a water bottle is on the right.
