Close-up photograph of a bearded man with eyes closed and a slight smile, seated before an ornate silver-embossed backdrop featuring a lion-face motif. He wears a white horizontal forehead band with a red bindi, long dark hair swept back, a maroon-red shawl edged with brocade, multiple rudraksha mala necklaces, a large gold pendant with a deity relief and red stone accents, and rudraksha bracelets with white arm bands. Hands rest in lap holding a gold-rimmed item. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, ornate gold pendant and maroon shawl) seated in meditative posture.
