Close photograph of a man with long, swept-back black hair and a red tilak on his forehead, seated in front of a deep red upholstered chair with gold trim. He presses his palms together in anjali mudra and looks down in prayer. He wears an orange shawl with gold border over bare shoulders and a gold ceremonial necklace with beads. Blurred in the background, a shaved-headed man in white ritual clothing also holds his hands together. The setting appears to be a devotional gathering. Appearance-based probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, orange and gold ornate clothing and gold necklace, seated on a throne-like chair.
