Photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead, eyes closed, mouth open in chant, both palms raised before him in a blessing gesture. He wears an orange saffron shawl over bare shoulders, a long brown rudraksha mala, a thin gold necklace and a red-and-gold wrist thread. A golden trident-like staff stands at left beside a gold-trimmed throne, with a red wall and blurred seated audience behind. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: swept-back long hair, saffron wrap, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, seated in a discourse setting.
