A smiling man with eyes closed stands before a large dark stone carved halo with a black deity murti behind him, garlanded in red flowers. He wears a leopard-print garment, an orange shawl, multi-strand gold beaded necklaces, a red garland and a gold bangle. He holds a silver trident with a silver Shiva-style trident head and a red stone inset. White vertical body markings and a red bindi mark his forehead, and he holds his hip. Swamiji (probable): his long swept-back hair, orange shawl, rudraksha-style adornments and ceremonial gold necklaces fit the page's identification, though the appearance cues are not conclusive. Marigold garlands and a red flower are visible on the wall and the base of the murti.
