Close photograph of a smiling man with long dark dreadlocks and a full beard, wearing a rust-red shawl wrapped over his shoulders and bare upper arm. A broad white horizontal band of vibhuti or ash marks his forehead. Behind him is an ornate embossed silver or gold-toned panel with repeating figures, and a leopard-print cushion is visible at lower left. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long hair, saffron-red sannyasi shawl and forehead markings, seated in a darshan setting.
