Photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair standing with eyes closed and a slight smile, holding a tall gold trident in his left hand and resting his right hand on his hip. He wears a rust-brown robe, a pink and white flower garland over his shoulders, heavy gold bead necklaces, a gold pendant, a rudraksha mala on his chest and arms, and a white and red tilak on his forehead. Behind him are a golden foliage backdrop, red drapes and a painted deity mural in orange and red. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces, rudraksha malas and saffron-brown ceremonial clothing, standing as a devotional figure.
