Close photograph of a smiling man with eyes lowered, wearing a pale cream silk turban with a red kumkum mark on his forehead. He wears an ornate blue and purple embroidered silk kurta with a high mandarin collar, and around his neck is a long garland of white jasmine-type flowers, red blossoms, purple flowers and green leaves interlaced with ornate gold beaded pendants. Long dark hair falls over one shoulder, and the background is a blurred gold ornamental surface. The appearance is consistent with a probable Swamiji, with long hair, a turban, ornate ceremonial clothing and gold necklace cues, shown in person.
