Close-up photograph of a bare-chested man seated before an ornate gold-embossed throne. He wears a large black turban with a small crescent ornament, white forehead paste with a red bindi, and a moustache and beard. He has layered gold necklaces with rudraksha malas, pendant and gold ornaments, and his expression is a gentle smile. Appearance-based cues including the turban, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold jewellery are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, a probable identification.
