Close-up photograph of a smiling man wearing a tall black turban wrapped with green beads, rudraksha beads and a gold ornament at the front. He has white horizontal tilak lines and a red vertical mark on his forehead, a dark beard, and a red-orange robe. He wears a heavy gold necklace with large gold beads and a long garland of white flowers and pink lotus petals draped over his shoulders. Behind him is an ornate silver repoussé backdrop with floral and scroll patterns, and a crescent ornament appears at the upper left. Swamiji (probable): the turban, rudraksha, saffron-red robe and ceremonial gold necklace match the appearance cues, and the page names Swamiji.
