A framed portrait on a dark background shows a smiling man with long swept-back hair and a vertical tilak on his forehead, bare-chested, wearing a rudraksha mala across his chest, a belt of bead strands at the waist, maroon dhoti-style trousers, and beaded anklets. He holds a damaru drum on a long staff in one raised hand and a palm raised in blessing. The portrait stands against a wall with a yellow sign reading SELAYANG MALAYSIA. In front is a leopard- and tiger-print cloth with a large bouquet of marigolds, chrysanthemums and purple and blue flowers wrapped in red fabric, and a steel plate holding a sliced dragon fruit. Appearance-based cues (long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, bare-chested with distinctive beaded adornments) suggest Swamiji (probable) depicted in the portrait.
