A smiling man with long dreadlocked hair and a full beard sits on an ornate silver-and-blue upholstered throne-style chair. He wears a rust-red shawl over a red-orange dhoti with a gold-bordered hem, a gold chain, a red sacred thread on his wrist, and a red mark on his forehead. He holds up a small worn paperback titled "Organic inputs for organic farming" toward the camera. Behind him are a flower garland of white jasmine and red blossoms, a brass kalasha-style lamp stand, and a brass trident-like ceremonial stand, with a microphone clipped nearby. A silver staff leans against the chair in the foreground. Probable Swamiji is seated, identified only by the appearance-based cues of long hair, ceremonial red-orange clothing and gold necklace, and the throne setting.
