A close photograph of a man with eyes closed in meditative devotion, wearing an orange turban and an orange shawl with gold border. He has a red-and-yellow tilak on his forehead and wears a heavy garland of red roses, yellow marigolds and green leaves with lemon-like yellow fruits, plus a gold ornament. Behind him is a gold-tone ornate deity murti or throne back and a painted red figure with an open mouth showing teeth. Trident-like golden finials appear at left. The man is shown with other devotional adornments in a temple setting. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, orange turban and shawl, and rudraksha-style gold ornaments and garlands are visible, matching the page's Swamiji reference.
