A smiling man in a cream-coloured turban with a red bindi stands before a large garland of yellow, red, purple and pink flowers framing a gilded backdrop. He wears a white draped garment bare at the shoulder, a heavy multi-strand gold necklace with bell-shaped pendants and a lotus-shaped gold pendant, and a gold snake-shaped armlet. Behind him is a blurred background of orange and gold tones. Probable Swamiji: the turban, long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and white ceremonial dress are visible cues, shown in a standing pose at what looks like a ceremonial event.
