A close photograph of a man seated before an ornate gold repoussé backdrop. He wears a beige turban with gold sequin trim and a red-and-black jewelled brooch, a red dot on his forehead, and a red garment draped over the shoulders with a gold border. Several strands of rudraksha beads with gold spacer beads hang across his chest, and he wears red-thread bracelets. His hands rest in front of him, and he smiles slightly while looking to one side. Swamiji (probable): the long swept hair, ornate turban and saffron-red clothing with rudraksha malas match the page's identification, but the face is not used for identity.
