Photograph of a seated man on a stage before an ornate gold-leaf backdrop, a dark ponytail and a red vibhuti or kumkum mark on his forehead. He wears a dark red-maroon robe draped over one shoulder, a brown rudraksha mala and a long gold bead necklace with a large gold pendant. He raises his right arm holding a bundle of green leaves, while his left hand rests on his lap. A black microphone on a stand is in front of him and he sits on a leopard-print cushioned chair. Swamiji (probable) is the candidate here: long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, seated in a ritual setting. Only one physical person is visible.
