Photograph of a seated man with long dark swept-back hair, a red tilak on his forehead, wearing a saffron-orange sleeveless wrap and a heavy ornate gold necklace of beads. He sits on a cushioned sofa with one hand raised near his face in a thoughtful gesture. Beside him on a small wooden table are a corded telephone and a stack of newspapers. Behind is a framed blue-background portrait of a seated saint draped with white and red flower garlands, and a wooden walking stick leans in the corner against a pale wall.
