Close profile photo of a man in a maroon-brown turban decorated with gold ornaments, including a gold jewelled brooch and a small gold tusk-like pin. He wears a pink lotus garland strung with white beads and gold spacers, and a maroon shawl over bare shoulders. He has a white vertical forehead marking with a red-brown line, and he looks down toward a white carved stone object resembling a seated bull or nandi on a pedestal. A gold deity figure stands at the left edge against a deep red drape. Swamiji (probable) is the wearer of the turban and garland, indicated by the distinctive turban, gold ornaments and bare-shouldered maroon shawl described above.
