A photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate silver and white throne-chair with red cushions, speaking into a microphone on a stage. He wears a rust-brown sleeveless robe, multiple strands of gold beads and a gold pendant, a thick garland of white jasmine and red roses, and rudraksha bands on his upper arms. He has white tripundra markings and a red bindi on his forehead, long dark hair, and a beard. Behind him stand gilded deity murti figures, one holding a staff, with a brass oil lamp at right and potted green plants at left. A red velvet footrest with a flower garland lies at the front. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated in person with distinctive saffron-brown robes, long hair, rudraksha and ceremonial gold necklaces.
