A photograph of a smiling man seated on a red cushioned throne with an ornate gold backrest, decorated with a plastic bunch of dark grapes and a vase of artificial flowers. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl draped over his shoulder, a long multi-strand rudraksha mala with a ceremonial gold ornament, a white forehead marking with a red bindi, and his hair swept back. He holds a mala of beads in one hand and rests the other on a black telephone-style device on the armrest. A zebra-striped cloth lies on the chair. Swamiji (probable) is shown in person, identified by saffron clothing, rudraksha malas, swept-back hair and a throne setting.
