A photograph of a smiling bearded man in a maroon-red sannyasi robe seated on an ornate white silver-trimmed throne. He wears a black-and-white patterned turban with a crescent ornament, a long rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, and wooden bead bracelets, with a horizontal white forehead mark. His right hand is raised in a gesture while a microphone stands in front of him. Behind him stands a large orange-painted deity murti holding a staff, beside a backdrop of carved orange panels. A small brass oil lamp rests on a stand at the lower left.
