A photograph outdoors under leafy trees shows a bare-chested man with swept-back dark hair, eyes closed, in meditative stillness. He wears a red-and-gold saffron-toned wrap over his shoulders, a large gold necklace of rudraksha-style beads with ornate gold clasps, a red bindi and a gold stud earring. Blurred figures behind him wear white forehead markings, and a tree trunk and bright green foliage fill the background. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair, a saffron-and-gold wrap and a heavy ceremonial gold bead necklace, and the page names him as present.
