A photograph of a bearded man seated before an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, eyes closed and palms pressed together in anjali mudra. He wears a rust-brown turban with a gold and pearl jewelled ornament, a brown-orange cloth draped over the shoulder, a heavy gold necklace and rudraksha-style beads, gold armlets and bangles, and a sacred mark on the forehead. Behind him hangs a red curtain and a colourful patterned banner, and a white fan sits at the left edge. The setting suggests a satsang or puja gathering. Swamiji (probable): long hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron-brown clothing, seated in a position of honour.
