A man with long, swept-back dark hair stands before an ornate gold repoussé backdrop. He wears an orange-saffron shawl with a gold-brocade border draped over his shoulders and a heavy ceremonial gold necklace of large carved beads with dark bands and a central pendant, plus a red bindi on his forehead and a dark rudraksha-style cord at his neck. He stands facing the camera with his hands folded in front. The appearance is consistent with Swamiji (probable), with cues of long hair, saffron clothing, gold necklace and sacred marks, though not certain.
