A photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, bare-chested beneath a saffron-orange shawl wrapped around the body. He has long dark hair swept back, a light vibhuti marking and red tilak on the forehead, a thick rudraksha-style mala of brown beads hanging across the chest, and a gold chain at the neck. He holds a small dark object in one hand and a green leaf in the other. Behind him are a silver oil lamp, yellow and orange drapery, a green plant and a steel vessel. The appearance matches the Swamiji presentation cues of long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, so this is a probable Swamiji in person.
