Studio portrait against a dark mottled grey backdrop. A man with long, swept-back dark hair sits cross-legged wearing a saffron-orange robe, a cream shawl draped over one shoulder and across the lap, and a long rudraksha mala of brown beads hanging on his chest. He has a red bindi or tilak mark on his forehead and his hands rest folded in his lap. He gazes off to one side. The subject matches the page's Swamiji cues, which include long hair, saffron clothing, a rudraksha mala and a forehead mark, so this appears to be a probable Swamiji depiction in a portrait setting. A copyright caption appears at lower right.
