Close-up photograph of a smiling man wearing a red and purple bandhani-patterned turban and a red shawl edged with a dark decorative border. He has a red bindi on his forehead and long dark wavy hair falling past his shoulders. Heavy gold beaded ceremonial necklaces hang across his chest, and a small clip-on lapel microphone is visible at the lower right. The background is a blurred gold and deep red setting. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and red saffron-toned garments are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so the figure is a probable Swamiji depiction in person.
