Close-up photograph of a smiling man with eyes lowered, wearing a white velvet turban and a red bindi on his forehead. Long dark hair falls past his ears. He wears a pink and purple embroidered silk garment with blue and green floral thread work and sequins, and is draped with a thick garland of white flowers, red roses, purple blossoms and green leaves interspersed with large gold ceremonial beads. The gold-toned background is blurred. Appearance cues including long hair, turban, saffron-free ornate clothing, and gold garland are consistent with Swamiji (probable), shown in person being honoured at the event.
