A smiling man with long dark hair swept back stands outdoors in front of a blurred green tree and an orange wall, one arm extended. He wears a white dhoti-style garment with gold-striped borders draped over his shoulder, and a heavy gold necklace of ornate beads separated by black bands, with a central gold pendant. A red bindi and white markings are on his forehead. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and gold-bordered white garment fit the appearance cues, and the page names him, so he is treated as a probable candidate and this is an in-person photograph.
