Photograph of a man seated before an ornate gold repoussé backdrop. He has long swept-back dark hair, a white vertical tilak with a red dot on his forehead, and a saffron-orange shawl draped over his shoulders. Multiple strands of rudraksha mala beads with gold spacers hang across his chest. His eyes are lowered as he sits in a calm, still posture. Probable Swamiji by appearance: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, seated in front of a gold throne-style backdrop. Watermarked archive photo omitted.
