A smiling man in a multicoloured pink, orange and red turban decorated with a jewelled brooch and a peacock-feather accent sits before an ornate gold repoussé backdrop. He wears a peach-coloured sash draped over his shoulder, a red tilak on his forehead, and several tiers of heavy gold beaded necklaces, with gold armbands on both upper arms. A long pink-and-orange fabric end falls down beside his shoulder. Swamiji (probable) is the label for this presentation, based on the turban, saffron-toned ceremonial clothing and layered gold necklaces. The image is a close-up portrait photograph.
