Sepia-toned photograph of a smiling man seated in an ornate carved wooden chair against a plain wall, looking up and to the side. He wears a white turban with a gold-bordered band, a white shawl with a gold-threaded border draped over one shoulder, and a long dark rudraksha mala hanging to his lap. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders, and a vertical tilak mark is on his forehead. His hands rest together in his lap, with dried flower sprigs and a plant visible beside the chair. The figure matches the appearance cues of the a person, seated in a throne-like chair with rudraksha and turban, so the identity is probable from appearance alone.
