Close-up photograph of a smiling man in a maroon silk turban decorated with gold embroidery, kundan-style jewelled brooches and rudraksha beads, wearing a dark vertical tilak on a white-painted forehead. He wears layered rudraksha malas and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace over bare shoulders, with gold earrings. Blurred warm lights and a deity murti or decorated altar with garlands fill the background. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: ornate maroon turban, rudraksha malas and gold necklace.
