A photograph of a single man seated in front of an ornate silver repoussé backdrop with floral and scroll motifs. He has closed eyes, a bare upper torso, long dark matted hair piled high with a silver crescent moon ornament, a white tripundra with a red bindi and a vertical eye emblem on his forehead, and a full beard. He wears a dense necklace of rudraksha malas over a leopard-print cloth draped across his chest and a gold chain with a pendant. The scene suggests a meditative or darshan moment. Swamiji (probable): long matted hair with crescent ornament, rudraksha malas, leopard-print wrap and ceremonial gold necklace, seated in meditation.
