Side-profile photograph of a smiling man with eyes lowered, wearing a pale silver-white turban and a small red bindi on his forehead. He has long dark hair falling behind the turban and wears a multi-coloured embroidered jacket with a blue collar, draped with a thick garland of white flowers interspersed with green leaves, red blossoms and purple flowers, plus gold bead ornaments. The dark background suggests a stage or hall. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, a pale turban and a flower garland with ornate clothing are visible cues for the presented teacher; this is an appearance-based candidate, not a confirmed identification.
