Close-up photograph of a bare-chested man with a tall black turban of wound hair decorated with rudraksha beads and small metal charms. He has a white horizontal band across the forehead with a dark vertical mark at the centre, and wears layered brown rudraksha malas with golden spacers and a gold chain with a small pendant. He smiles, looking to the side, with one hand raised near his neck and a purple thread on his wrist. The background is a warm brown and gold painted backdrop. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), a sannyasi with distinctive rudraksha malas, turban and gold ornaments.
