A close-up portrait of a man with long, swept-back dark hair, a white tilak and a red bindi on his forehead, wearing heavy gold multi-strand necklaces, large gold earrings, rudraksha-style beads and many gold bangles and rings. He is gazing to the side while his hands are held together in a mudra near his chest. Behind him, a silver-embossed chair and a reddish painted deity image in an ornate wooden shrine create a temple setting. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and a bare shoulder over a maroon cloth; the image is a photograph of a single person, not a group.
