Close-up photograph of a man wearing a pale cream textured turban with a small red bindi at the centre of his forehead. He has long dark hair falling behind his shoulders and wears an ornate pink and blue embroidered garment with sequin and bead work. A thick necklace of gold ceremonial beads sits over the garment, along with a garland of white flowers interspersed with red and purple blossoms. Behind him is a large gilded background with repoussé floral and scroll-like relief patterns. The man is looking to one side with a slight smile. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable) — long swept hair, turban, ornate clothing, gold necklace and garland cues are present, so the candidate is physically in the scene.
