Close-up photo of a bearded man in a maroon-brown turban decorated with a jewelled crescent moon, a gold cobra ornament and small gemstones. He wears a white and red forehead marking, a gold necklace of beads and rudraksha-style strands, and a gold-bordered maroon shawl over his shoulder. Dreadlocked hair falls beside the turban, and a backdrop of ornate orange and gold jewellery artwork fills the background. Swamiji (probable) appears here as the seated figure with long dark hair, saffron-maroon clothing and ornate gold adornments.
