A photograph of a man seated in profile before a red upholstered chair with an ornate silver-embossed back. He wears a maroon-red shawl with gold-coloured borders draped over his shoulders and bare upper body, long dark hair swept back, a horizontal white forehead mark, gold earrings, multiple gold chains and beaded necklaces, a gold bangle and rudraksha-style beaded bands on the upper arm. His palms are pressed together in a gesture of greeting or respect. Probable Swamiji is visible in this image by appearance cues including long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and a saffron-red shawl; he is seated in an indoor hall with a wooden pillar behind him. One person is present.
