Close portrait photograph of a man with long, swept-back dark hair, white vertical tilak marks on the forehead and a red bindi-style dot between the brows, smiling slightly while looking to the side. He wears a saffron-orange wrap or shawl and a heavy ornate gold necklace of large beaded links, with a dark reddish background behind him. Cues include long hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklace, consistent with a Swamiji (probable) presentation in a ceremonial setting.
