A photograph of a bare-chested man seated before an ornate silver-and-gold throne with embossed floral and scrollwork panels. He sits with eyes closed and palms pressed together in anjali mudra. He wears a tall black piled-hair crown wrapped with a gold and jewelled band, a crescent moon ornament, a white vertical tilak on the forehead, and many rudraksha malas with gold necklaces and bangles. Behind him stands a copper-toned deity murti with a red-and-white tilak, a leopard-print headdress and a crescent, beside a red draped backdrop. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair in a crown, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces, seated in a throne-like setting with hands in namaskar.
