Close-up photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair, eyes lowered, wearing an ornate gold crown with floral repoussé work and a red bindi on his forehead. He wears an orange garment and layered gold-bead necklaces with rudraksha-style beads, and is adorned with thick garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds and green leafy sprigs. Behind him are red, orange, green and gold festival decorations. The appearance of long swept-back hair, a crown, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklaces is a probable Swamiji (probable) candidate standing in a procession, with a garland and crown consistent with being honoured. Sky is pale in the background.
