He wears an orange saffron robe, a long rudraksha mala with dark beads, and a red tilak on his forehead; he is smiling and holding a thin white thread. Behind him stands a large golden deity murti pair in orange and magenta garments with yellow and red marigold garlands, a cobra hood above a shivalinga, and a blue-clad figure to the right beside a brass oil lamp. Two red apples sit on a side table at left. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala cues, and sits on a throne-like seat.
