Close-up photograph of a smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red kumkum mark on his forehead, wearing an orange saffron cloth draped over his shoulders and a thick garland of yellow marigold-like flowers with red roses and green leaves. Brown rudraksha beads are visible under the garland. Behind him is an ornate gold-embossed throne or seat with a lion-like motif and a red pillar at left. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial floral garland indicate a presiding teacher seated on a throne.
