A photograph of a bearded man seated on a red throne at a large indoor satsang, eyes closed and hands pressed together in front of his chest. He wears a rust-red turban with a jewelled ornament, long dark braided hair, a bare-shouldered rust-red garment, a leopard-print cloth at the waist, multiple gold necklaces, rudraksha malas and bangles. A gilded trident stands on the right and a gold bull statue sits at lower left. Behind him, a seated audience in saffron and white fills the hall. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, red turban, ornate gold jewellery and rudraksha cues indicate a presumed identity, presented as a seated teacher.
