A photograph of a man with long, dark, swept-back hair and a full beard, bare-chested, leaning forward at a carved grey stone shrine with lion-faced motifs and ornate pilasters. He wears a pink and white flower garland over his shoulder, gold bangles on his wrists, and a dark wrap. A red cloth hangs behind him and a folded red cloth rests on the stone ledge beside a brass lamp stand. His hand touches the stone base in a reverent gesture. The swamiji flag is yes, and his appearance shows long swept-back hair, a flower garland, gold bangles and a dark wrap, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in a devotional setting.
