A photograph of a young man seated cross-legged on a small reddish-purple cushioned wooden stool in front of a large banyan tree with aerial roots. He wears an orange turban, an orange draped robe with the shawl over one shoulder, and a long rudraksha mala, with a red bindi on his forehead. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders and he smiles toward the camera with hands resting on his knee. The appearance is consistent with Swamiji (probable), a sannyasi in saffron, with rudraksha beads and long swept-back hair, seated at the sacred tree.
