A man in a maroon-brown dhoti-style wrap and matching turban stands before a golden cobra-hood backdrop with a gilded throne and red draped curtains behind him. He wears a jewelled turban ornament with a feather, a red thread on his wrist and a small gold pendant, and raises both palms outward in a blessing gesture while smiling. Probable Swamiji by visible cues: distinctive jewelled turban, long hair, ornate maroon clothing and the gold cobra-hood throne setting. Single person in a stage setting, photographed in a ceremonial hall.
