A smiling man with long, dark, wavy hair and a red bindi on his forehead sits before an ornate gold repoussé backdrop. He wears a green and gold silk garment draped over one shoulder, with rudraksha mala necklaces with silver spacers across his chest and matching rudraksha armlets on both upper arms, and a yellow cloth at the waist. The embossed gold relief behind him suggests a throne or altar setting. Appearance and ceremonial adornments match the probable Swamiji cues: long hair, saffron-free but ornate garments, multiple rudraksha malas and armlets, seated before a golden throne backdrop.
