A seated man in a rust-red sleeveless robe and red-brown dhoti with a leopard-print yellow waistband sits in a silver ornate chair against dark foliage. He wears a large dark turban-style headwrap with a white crescent ornament, rudraksha malas across his chest and arms, a gold pendant necklace, and a white tilak on his forehead. He holds a white oil lamp or ceremonial vessel in his hands while his eyes are closed, and a microphone stands before him. A small golden deity murti sits at the lower right. Probable Swamiji is seated in ritual posture, identified by the turban, rudraksha malas, gold necklace and red-saffron robe. This is a photograph.
