Close photograph of a man with long, swept-back black hair and a small red tilak on his forehead, wearing an orange saffron shawl wrapped over his shoulders, seated in front of a maroon wall decorated with white folk-art figures of dancers and a tree. He faces slightly to one side with a calm expression, arms folded beneath the wrap. Several cues (long hair, saffron wrap, tilak) are consistent with the page's Swamiji label, so this appearance-based candidate is probable.
