A photograph of a man with a white forehead band and a dark vertical tilak, long dark hair swept back, and small gold earrings, raising one hand in blessing. He wears layered rudraksha-style beaded necklaces in reddish-brown with gold and jewelled pendants, matching beaded armlets, and is bare-chested. Behind him is an ornate silver-coloured throne with embossed floral and heart motifs, and a silver pole stands at left. Swamiji (probable): the qualifying cues are the swept-back long hair, layered rudraksha malas, ornate beaded adornments and the blessing gesture before the ornate silver throne.
