Close-up photograph of a smiling man with eyes closed, pressing his palms together in a gesture of greeting or prayer. He wears a saffron-orange shawl draped over his shoulders and a long rudraksha mala of dark brown beads across his chest. A red bindi and white markings are on his forehead, and his dark hair is swept back. The background is a deep maroon curtain. Swamiji (probable): the saffron clothing, swept-back hair and rudraksha mala match the presentation expected of the Swamiji, so this is a candidate in person.
