A smiling man in a close-up photograph wears a pale silver-grey turban with a small red tilak mark on his forehead. Long dark hair falls behind his shoulders. He wears a pink and lavender embroidered kurta with blue and green beadwork and a stack of gold beaded necklaces, plus white and red-and-purple flower garlands draped over his shoulders. Behind him is an ornate gold repoussé backdrop with swirling floral and scroll patterns. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, ornate embroidered clothing and gold necklaces are cues for the figure, so this is an in-person candidate.
