A photograph of a long-haired man seated outdoors before a stone altar. He wears an orange-saffron robe with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a red bindi on his forehead, and he smiles while gesturing with one raised hand. A white cloth with red-and-gold borders drapes the seat behind him, and a silver-topped cane rests beside him. On the altar step sit a brass bell, a plate of fruit, a brass lamp, yellow marigold garlands and an orange-draped deity murti with a white flower garland. The person is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, seated for darshan.
