Close-up photograph of a smiling man seated before an ornate gilded throne with scrollwork. He wears a tall black turban decorated with a white crescent ornament and two small jeweled figures, a white tripundra with a red bindi on the forehead, and a small wireless microphone clipped near his cheek. Around his neck are layered gold ornaments, rudraksha malas and dark-red beads over a rust-orange garment. Probable Swamiji: long swept turban, ornate gold and rudraksha jewellery and a saffron-orange robe are visible cues of the appearance described on the page.
