Close-up photo of a man with long, swept-back black hair wearing an orange saffron shawl and a double-strand rudraksha mala. A dark red bindi and white tilak mark his forehead. He is seated before an ornate golden gilded backdrop with a red cushion behind him, speaking with a slight smile. Appearance-based probable Swamiji: the long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas match the cues described in the page, and he is physically present in the scene, so the image is an in-person photograph.
