A photograph of a man in profile, facing left, with long dark hair worn loose down his back. He wears a white unstitched cloth draped over his shoulder and a long necklace of large gold barrel beads with dark bands. Behind him is a backdrop of garlands in red, purple, white and yellow flowers, with a gilded deity murti partly visible at the top left. On the right, a brass oil lamp with a lit flame stands near the edge of the frame. Probable Swamiji by visible appearance: long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and draped white cloth, shown in person at a flower-decorated ritual setting.
