Close photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair and a full beard, wearing a rust-red shawl over his shoulder and a wreath of pink lotus petals and white pearl beads. He has white vibhuti on his forehead with a dark bindi-like mark, rudraksha malas hang across his chest, and a gold necklace is visible. Behind him is an ornate gold-embossed throne or backdrop. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron-red shawl, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace, seated before a gold throne-like backdrop.
