Close-up photo of a man with a dark matted topknot crowned by a golden crescent moon ornament. He has white horizontal sacred ash lines and a red-and-white forehead mark, a trimmed beard and a broad smile. He wears a thick necklace of rudraksha beads, a gold pendant chain and a leopard-print garment, with a bare shoulder visible. Behind him a large colourful backdrop of blue, purple and red tones fills the frame. The figure appears to be a depiction of Shiva styling. Swamiji (probable) cues: matted topknot, crescent crown, rudraksha malas and gold pendant. Printed copyright text appears at the lower right.
