A photograph of a man seated on a low ornate silver throne at night, resting his cheek on his right hand in a pensive pose. He wears a leopard-print turban, a rust-red sleeveless tunic and matching dhoti, with rudraksha bracelets on his upper arms and wrists and a gold chain at his neck. Long dreadlocked hair falls over his shoulders and a yellow turmeric mark is on his forehead. In front of him stand a stone mortar filled with yellow turmeric paste and a wooden pestle, with a steel vessel of yellow paste and other containers on a striped cloth. The page identifies this event as a discourse, but no readable text is visible in the image. Probable Swamiji seated in the throne, wearing rudraksha ornaments and distinctive leopard-print turban and dreadlocks.
