A smiling man seated on a red velvet throne in front of an ornate gold lotus-petal backdrop, wearing a heavy garland of white jasmine, pink flowers and red roses with a ceremonial gold pendant and beaded rudraksha malas on the wrists. He wears a maroon-brown robe and a vertical tilak on his forehead, and raises both palms outward in a gesture of blessing. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back dark hair, ornate gold necklace and multiple rudraksha malas visible, seated in a throne-like setting while speaking to an audience.
