A photograph of a bearded man seated in front of an ornate gilded throne with carved gold panels and a deep red velvet drape. He wears a rust-orange turban with a jewelled ornament, a rust-orange shawl over a bare shoulder, multiple rudraksha mala strands with gold beads, white and red floral garlands, and rudraksha armlets. He gestures with an open hand toward a black microphone on a stand, and a brass oil lamp stands at right. Swamiji (probable): the man's shoulder-length hair, turban, saffron-toned clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments match the described teacher, and he appears seated on a throne while speaking.
