The figure wears an orange-brown robe, layered gold and beaded necklaces, gold armbands and bangles, and is shown in a raised blessing gesture with the right hand. Yellow and maroon flower garlands hang over the cutout, and a small framed picture and marigold flowers rest on the floor in front.

A green and gold cushion with flower offerings lies in the foreground. The appearance cues match the Swamiji description (turban, saffron-toned robes, ornate gold and rudraksha adornment), but it is a depiction on print, so the identity is an appearance-based probable match only.2024-01-12A printed photograph.
