A photograph of a smiling man with long, dark, swept-back hair and a red bindi on his forehead, wearing an orange-saffron shawl draped over bare shoulders. He wears multiple strands of rudraksha beads and a large ornate gold pendant with a gold necklace. Behind him a blurred golden figure and a deep red curtain form the backdrop, with a small flame visible at left. Swamiji (probable) is identifiable by the long hair, saffron shawl, rudraksha malas and gold pendant, though the appearance cues are moderately distinctive.
