A photograph of a man with long dark hair tied in a bun, standing outdoors beside a slender tree trunk and leaning his head and right hand against it with eyes closed. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with gold-bordered edges, and a long gold ceremonial necklace of beads hangs over his chest. His bare upper body and arm are visible. Behind him are blurred greenery and reddish earth. Probable Swamiji cues: long hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace, shown in a meditative pose at the tree.
