A photograph of a long-haired man seated cross-legged on an orange cushion in an open courtyard, wearing a red draped garment and a large ornate gold necklace of bead-like pieces. He gazes off to the side with a calm expression. Behind him, two people in white dhotis and white shawls walk through a sandy compound lined with red-walled buildings, small green shrubs and rows of small grey stone figures. A red cloth-covered seat and a patterned floor mat with pink and red designs are visible in the foreground. The scene appears to be an outdoor ashram gathering in warm, low sunlight. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair and a distinctive gold bead necklace with red garment.
