Close photo of a smiling man in a red and gold patterned turban with a red bindi, wearing an orange saffron-coloured shawl over bare shoulders, a long necklace of lime-green fruit beads with rudraksha and gold beads, a gold pendant and a gold hoop earring. He sits before an ornate gold repoussé backdrop with a leopard-print cloth. Long dark hair falls over his shoulders. Swamiji (probable) appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklace, seated in a ceremonial setting.
