Close photograph of a smiling man seated before ornate gold-embossed carved decoration with a deep red cushion behind him. He wears an orange turban with gold edging and a blue-green peacock-feather ornament, a red bindi on his forehead, and an orange robe with a dark green and gold border draped over one shoulder. He has a multi-strand necklace of rudraksha beads with gold spacers and a matching beaded armband on his upper arm, with a single sacred-thread style cord visible at his neck. Probable Swamiji is the candidate: long swept hair, orange turban and saffron robe, rudraksha malas and ornate gold-accented adornments. No other people are visible.
