A photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair, wearing a rust-red robe, rudraksha mala and a gold pendant necklace, seated before an ornate gold throne with carved lion heads. He has a red tilak on his forehead and a long green leaf garland around his shoulders. A man in a white shirt on the left reaches toward him with his hand raised, apparently placing or touching something near his face. Red and yellow draped curtains hang behind. The seated man matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, and is shown in person.
