A smiling man with long dark hair and a full beard sits on a blue-draped platform in front of a large lion sculpture and a colourful deity murti with teal skin and sequined garments. He wears a rust-orange robe, a rudraksha mala, a gold necklace, and a long garland of white flowers with red, yellow and green accents and apples. He rests his hands on two ornate silver staffs, and a red tilak marks his forehead. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, orange robe, rudraksha beads and ceremonial gold necklace match the page's cues for Swamiji seated in a ceremonial setting.
