A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair and a short beard, bare-chested apart from a rust-orange shawl draped over his shoulders and a red thread bracelet on his wrist, with pale ash marks on his forehead. He sits on a leopard-print cushioned seat in front of an ornate silver-embossed throne back. He presses his palms together in a gesture of greeting and smiles toward a man in a mint-green shirt with a wristwatch, who sits close by with his hands folded in anjali. A soft white light beam falls across a dark red curtain behind them. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, orange shawl and ash marks, seated on a throne in the role of giver of blessing.
