A close photograph of a man with eyes closed and both arms raised, hands clasped on top of his head. He wears a large crown-like cluster of brown rudraksha beads with gold ornaments, many rudraksha malas and gold bangles on his arms, and a heavy gold-and-bead necklace over a dark garment. A white vertical tilak with a central dot marks his forehead. Behind him are a metal oil lamp and a brass vessel on a dark background, with an ornate silver surface at left. Swamiji (probable): the figure shows rudraksha malas, ceremonial gold necklaces and a distinctive rudraksha crown, with the page indicating his presence at this event.
