Close-up photo of a smiling man with eyes closed, wearing a matted dark braided headdress crowned with a silver crescent and many rudraksha beads. White horizontal tripundra lines and a third-eye mark are painted on his forehead, and he has a moustache and goatee. His bare shoulder shows white markings and an orange-red cloth is draped at his chest. He rests his arm on a polished silver serpent sculpture with coiled body and raised hood. Dark stage backdrop behind him. Swamiji (probable): long matted hair, rudraksha headdress and sacred markings, presented as a ritual performer beside a silver snake deity figure.
