Close side-profile photograph of a bare-chested man with a tall, swept-up black hair bun wrapped with rudraksha beads and a silver ornament, a white forehead band with a red bindi, and a broad smile. He wears layered brown rudraksha malas, gold and kundan-style necklaces, a gold bracelet, a rudraksha armlet and a gold earring, and raises one hand toward his cheek. A large ornate silver panel stands behind him against a dark background. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair with bead adornments, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold jewellery.
