Studio portrait of a man seated against a wooden chair back on a plain white background. He has long, swept-back black hair, a red bindi on his forehead and wears an orange saffron robe draped over his shoulders with a red and gold brocade shawl. A heavy gold necklace of ribbed beads hangs on his chest, ending in a gold pendant with a small Shiva lingam-style ornament set with red and blue stones. Swamiji (probable) with long hair, saffron clothing, a shawl and ceremonial gold necklace; he is physically present in the photograph. A faint purple logo appears in the upper right corner.
