A photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair, wearing a black-and-white patterned turban with a crescent ornament, a white vertical forehead mark, a rust-red robe and a dense rudraksha mala with matching bead bracelets, seated in a white ornate chair and speaking into a microphone. Probable Swamiji, identified by a turban, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace while seated at a ritual preparation. Before him stand stone mortars and bowls holding yellow turmeric, red kumkum and powders, and a small metal figure of a seated animal. Two large painted deity murti flank him in orange and red with multiple arms, and a carved wooden door panel forms the backdrop.
