Photograph of a seated man in a dark red-brown turban adorned with silver jewelled ornaments and a central brooch, wearing a red-brown ochre robe, a long strand of white and pink flower garland, and a heavy gold bead mala with gold armlets. He has a forehead tilak and a full dark beard, and sits before a large golden shell-patterned backdrop resembling a peacock fan. Swamiji (probable): the turban, ornate ochre robe, jewelled head ornaments and gold mala are consistent with the page's identification, though no printed name is visible. One person is present.
