Close-up photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair swept back, wearing white horizontal tilak lines and a red dot on his forehead. He wears a maroon silk shawl with a gold border and a long rudraksha mala, and a golden trident-shaped ornament is visible at the lower edge. Behind him is a red cushioned backrest set against ornate gold repoussé metalwork. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ornate gold ceremonial accents, seated in a throne-like setting.
