A seated man with long dark hair sits with eyes closed and palms pressed together in anjali, with a red bindi on his forehead. He wears white clothing with a gold-bordered shawl and a gold necklace of beads. Behind him is an ornate gold throne-like backdrop framed by a dense garland of yellow, red, purple and white flowers. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, gold necklace and gold-bordered shawl match the cues, and the floral throne setting suggests a seated teacher, so the appearance-based label applies here.
