A man stands at left in a rust-orange dhoti with a gold border and a red-and-blue flower garland over his shoulders, bare-chested with gold armlets, and holds a brass oil lamp and bell. A flame burns in the lamp near the tree. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long, swept-back dark hair, a gold necklace and a rudraksha-style garland, which are the qualifying cues.2015-01-04June 30 20102010-06-30
