A photograph of a man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi and white tilak on his forehead, wearing a red sleeveless robe with rudraksha malas strung with gold and gem-set spacers, a white pearl necklace with a gold pendant, and a large gold ornament at his chest. He smiles and looks down at a small white paper slip held in his open palm, while his other arm extends toward the edge of the frame. In the lower foreground a metal bowl holds white items. Another blurred person in white stands behind him. Swamiji (probable): long hair, red robe, rudraksha malas and gold ornaments, presented as the figure receiving or distributing the paper slip.
