Close portrait photo of a smiling man seated in front of an ornate gilded throne with floral and scrollwork carvings and golden drapes behind him. He wears a striped orange-and-black tiger-pattern head wrap decorated with rudraksha beads and a silver crescent ornament, a white tripundra mark on his forehead, and a small headset microphone at his ear. He is bare-chested with a leopard-print shawl over his shoulders, several layers of rudraksha mala necklaces, rudraksha bracelets on his arms, and a rudraksha-beaded waist cord. Dark ornate earrings hang from his ears. The name plate reads a Swamiji-style presentation, with the Shiva-like adornments visible; the page does not confirm the subject, and the appearance includes distinctive long hair under the wrap, a crescent ornament, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold-throne setting, giving a probable candidate.
