A smiling man with long dark hair and a full beard sits in front of an ornate gold-embossed backdrop. He wears a white tilak on his forehead with a red bindi at its centre, gold earrings, a long gold ceremonial necklace with bead-like segments, a garland of pink lotus flowers, and a rust-red-brown shawl over his shoulders. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and pink lotus garland with ceremonial styling; this is a portrait-style photo of one person seated on a throne-like gold setting. A faint archive copyright line appears at lower right.
