Close photograph of a smiling bearded man with a tall piled black hair crown wrapped with a band of rudraksha beads, a red-brown vibhuti/kumkum mark on his forehead, a gold earring, and a rudraksha mala with a gold necklace over a rust-orange shawl. Behind him is ornate repoussé silver work with peacock and figural motifs. Swamiji (probable) appearance-based label: the long swept hair crown, rudraksha malas and ornate ceremonial gold cues are present, and the page indicates Swamiji was at this event, so this is the probable identity of the seated man.
