A smiling man with long dark hair and a full beard stands in front of a large orange-lit carved deity murti with many necklaces and multiple arms. He holds a gold trident in his raised right hand, wears a rust-orange wrap with gold trim, layered beaded purple-and-gold rudraksha-style malas, gold armlets and bangles, and a white horizontal tilak on his forehead. His left hand rests on his hip. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate orange clothing, and ceremonial beaded necklaces match the page's reference to a Swamiji appearance, placing him in the front of the frame as the central figure.
