A photograph of a bearded man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne in a richly decorated hall. He wears a rust-red turban, a rust-red shawl over the shoulders and a gold chain necklace, with rudraksha beads on his wrists. His hands rest in his lap and he is smiling. Behind him stand gold-and-jewelled deity murti figures, and a gold trident leans beside the throne. A microphone stand is at right and a small golden cow figure sits in the foreground. Appearance and role cues are distinctive: a turban, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold, consistent with Swamiji (probable) seated in a discourse setting.
