A bearded man with long dreadlocked hair and a red vibhuti or kumkum mark on his forehead sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne. He wears a rust-brown dhoti-style garment with a gold-bordered sash and long gold rudraksha-style malas, plus a gold pendant necklace. He rests one hand on a silver staff or ceremonial rod and holds a red cloth on the armrest. In front of him sits a black Yamaha DTX electronic drum module on a silver table. Behind him, saffron-robed attendants stand in a hall with a large framed painting on a pale wall. The person on the throne matches the page's description of Swamiji with his long hair, malas and ceremonial dress, so the identification is appearance-based and probable.
