Close-up photograph of a smiling man with a tall, voluminous black dreadlocked turban adorned with a gold chain ornament and a jewelled gold brooch-style pendant, with rudraksha beads visible in the headwear. He wears white tilak marks on his forehead with a red bindi-style mark, a gold earring, a mustache and beard, and a pink garland at his neck. Behind him are ornate gold and silver metal decorations and a red cushion-like surface. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: distinctive dreadlocked turban with rudraksha and gold ornaments, seated in a ceremonial setting. The page reports Swamiji at this event, but that claim is not a printed caption in the image.
