Close-up portrait of a bearded man against an ornate gold carved backdrop, wearing a tall black turban with a silver crescent ornament at the front and a white band of marking across the forehead. He wears multiple strands of brown rudraksha beads with gold spacers, a gold chain, and a gold-embroidered shawl over bare shoulders. He is smiling slightly with his eyes open. Given the turban, rudraksha malas, ceremonial gold and crescent ornament, the appearance is consistent with the Swamiji (probable) cues, though the face is not used for identification.
