He wears a white kurta with a high mandarin collar, a white shawl draped over one shoulder, a red bindi on his forehead, a gold chain with a red-beaded pendant, and a gold bracelet on his left wrist. Orange-red cushioned armrests frame the seat. The image appears to be from a satsang or teaching session.
