Photograph of a man with eyes closed and palms pressed together in anjali mudra at chest level. He wears a rust-red turban with a jewelled ornament at the front, a vertical tilak on his forehead, and heavy gold ceremonial necklaces over a bare chest, with rudraksha bracelets and garlands of pink and white flowers. A woman in a red-bordered sari with a red bindi stands at the lower left, another woman at the lower right, and an open-sided pavilion with red steel trusses and a striped canopy fringe forms the backdrop. Appearance cues include the turban, gold ornaments and rudraksha, so this is a probable identification of Swamiji as the person in the photo.
