A man in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold-carved throne with a red velvet backrest, raising one open palm while smiling. A small red bindi and white tilak mark his forehead, and his hair is long and swept back. Green palm fronds stand at the left edge against a softly lit lavender backdrop. This is a candidate for Swamiji (probable), based on the saffron robe, long hair, rudraksha mala and throne.
