A man with long, swept-back black hair sits on a striped tiger-print cloth, wearing a draped saffron-orange robe that covers his shoulders and arms. He has white vibhuti horizontal lines on his forehead with a red kumkum dot at the centre, and his hands are clasped in his lap. A golden trident ornament stands against a yellow wall with torn posters. The image is a photograph of a single seated person, with the framing and wall details indicating an informal setting. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron robe and trident-marked sacred ash cues are distinctive, and the page links him to this event.
