Close-up photograph of a smiling man seated before an ornate gold-embossed throne. He wears a rust-brown turban wrapped with a leopard-print cloth, a white vertical tilak on the forehead, large gold hoop earrings and a rudraksha mala around the neck. His bare shoulder is draped in a leopard-print shawl. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, turban, ornate ceremonial adornments and rudraksha cues are consistent with the page's claim, though the face is partly turned and the appearance is not fully certain.
