A seated man with long dark hair wears a gold ornate crown decorated with a peacock feather and a red bindi with gold tilak on his forehead. He is dressed in saffron-orange robes and wears a long garland of red and white flowers, with a gold ceremonial pendant and rudraksha beads at his chest. His eyes are closed in meditation, and he holds a tall gold-coloured staff in his right hand. A red and gold background with tassels is behind him. Swamiji (probable) is shown in this photograph, identified by the saffron robes, the long swept-back hair, the gold crown with peacock feather and the rudraksha mala.
