Close-up portrait photograph of a smiling man in profile facing left, with long swept-back black hair, a white vibhuti band across the forehead and a dark red kumkum or tilak mark at the centre. He wears a black beaded rudraksha mala with large ornate gold bead spacers around his neck, a matching gold-and-rudraksha earring, and a maroon garment with gold border at the shoulder. Plain white background. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate gold and rudraksha necklaces and a maroon garment with gold border, though the portrait does not establish the person's identity by face.
