Dark-lit photograph of a man in profile, seen through a large round metallic ring or gong that frames him. He has long dark hair swept up and tied at the crown with a gold ornament and red cord, wears a gold hoop earring, and has a light vertical mark on the forehead. Rudraksha beads drape over his bare shoulder and a patterned wrap or shawl covers his chest. Background is almost entirely black. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), a bare-chested figure with long hair, crown adornment and rudraksha malas, seen in profile.
