A photograph of a seated man in profile with eyes closed, in meditation, facing right. He has long dark hair swept back, wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over one shoulder and a heavy ceremonial gold necklace of large beads. Beside him at left is an ornate gilded chair with a carved backrest, and a brass oil lamp stands behind him. In the foreground at bottom are red apples and a tray of purple-wrapped sweets. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), identified by long swept-back hair, saffron shawl and ornate gold necklace, seated in meditation on a throne. The background is a plain pink wall with a window frame at right.
