Close photograph of a bearded man with a tall black hair turban strung with rudraksha beads, a red tilak on his forehead, and a gold-and-silver trident (trishul) held beside his face. His hands are pressed together in anjali mudra over a pink lotus flower. He wears a heavy garland of pink lotus blooms, white chrysanthemums, purple flowers and green foliage, with gold-and-silver wrapped armlets, a rudraksha bracelet and layered rudraksha malas. Marigold-yellow flower decorations blur in the background. Swamiji (probable): the turban, rudraksha, trishul and ceremonial ornaments match the page's Swamiji label, held in a devotional posture.
