A smiling man with a thick, dreadlocked black topknot wrapped with rudraksha beads and a crescent ornament sits before an ornate silver repoussé backdrop. He wears white horizontal sacred ash with a central vertical mark on his forehead, a rust-red shawl over his bare shoulders, a dense rudraksha bead garland across his chest, and a gold chain with a pendant. A microphone on a stand is in front of him. Probable Swamiji: long matted hair with rudraksha and a crescent ornament, a red shawl and rudraksha garland, seated as the speaker at the microphone.
