He wears layered garlands of white jasmine, red roses and purple flowers, a gold bead necklace, and a tilak on his forehead, and rests his hands on the seat. Behind him, colourful tassels in green, pink, blue and yellow hang from a golden ornamental pole, and a grey stone deity murti stands in the background among palm trees. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron robe, ornate gold necklace and garlands on the seated figure fit the page's label, and he is physically present.
