A seated man with long, dark, swept-back hair and a small red tilak on his forehead sits with eyes closed in a studio portrait against a dark brown background. He wears an orange-red shawl with gold zari borders over a matching garment, a long necklace of dark rudraksha beads across his chest, and his hands rest folded in his lap. A white satin cushion is visible at the lower left. The mood is calm and meditative. Several long-haired, saffron-clad and rudraksha-adorned cues are present, so this is an appearance-based probable Swamiji portrait of a single person, shown in person in the photograph.
