Close-up photo of a smiling man seated on an ornate gold throne, raising his right hand in a blessing gesture. He wears a tall black turban-style head covering with a silver crescent ornament, a white forehead marking with a red bindi, and heavy gold jewellery including a layered gold collar, shoulder ornaments, bracelets and a pendant with a deity figure. Rudraksha beads are visible among the gold. The chest is bare. Swamiji (probable) appearance cues include the ornate gold throne-style seat, layered gold ceremonial jewellery and crescent-topped turban; the figure is seated in a central throne position with a blessing gesture.
