A seated man in a studio photograph sits on a dark red cushion before an ornate silver-embossed chair back with a lion-face motif. He wears a tall turban-like crown of dark wound hair decorated with gold and rudraksha, a white and red forehead marking, a silver crescent ornament, and layered heavy gold necklaces with rudraksha malas. A rudraksha bracelet and gold rings adorn his arms, and he holds a silver-handled staff while his raised right hand makes a gesture of blessing. An open book rests on his lap, and he wears maroon-brown cloth. Swamiji (probable) cues include the crown and saffron-toned ornate clothing with ceremonial gold necklaces, presented as the seated speaker in this satsang photograph.
