A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron robe reclining on a white cushioned seat in a plain room with a pale block wall and grey floor. He wears a long rudraksha mala of brown beads across his chest, has a small red mark on his forehead, and rests his hands loosely in his lap while looking off to the side. A white plastic chair stands at the upper right, and pastel decorations hang on the wall at the top left. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala are visible cues of a sannyasi presentation, so this is a candidate in person.
