Close-up photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate gold throne, bare-chested and wearing heavy gold necklaces, multiple rudraksha malas, a gold earring and a crescent-moon ornament in a large black turban-style headdress. Three horizontal white lines and a central dark tilak mark his forehead. He smiles and holds a slender ceremonial rod. Swamiji (probable) appearance cues include the swept turban with crescent, ceremonial gold ornaments and rudraksha malas; he is the seated central figure receiving the scene.
