A smiling man with long, dark, swept-back hair sits in front of an ornate gold throne with a red cushion. He wears a rust-red shawl over his shoulder and a thick necklace of rudraksha beads, and has a dark red bindi or tilak mark on his forehead. The gold carved backdrop with floral and shell motifs fills the frame. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and rust-red ceremonial shawl, seated on a throne, matching the page's Swamiji claim.
