A photograph of a man seated on a red cushioned seat in front of an ornate gold-leaf backrest, with a rough stone wall behind him. He wears a rust-orange wrap over bare shoulders, a long brown rudraksha mala with gold beads, a gold bangle on his upper arm, gold rings and beaded wristbands, and gold earrings. A white tilak with a dark central mark is on his forehead, and his long dark hair falls to his shoulders. A pink and yellow decorated stick with a yellow flower tassel rests beside him. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, saffron-orange wrap and ceremonial gold ornaments, seated in a ritual setting.
