A smiling man in a rust-red turban with a vertical tilak on his forehead stands centrally, raising one hand in a wave. He wears a rust-orange robe and a thick brown rudraksha mala, with a red-and-blue flower garland at his waist. Three men flank him: one on the left in a white shirt with a red forehead mark, one in front right with a red tilak, and one on the far right in an olive shirt with an orange shawl. The ornate gold-embossed backdrop suggests a throne or altar setting.

Around him, four men in orange shawls and white or striped shirts with red and white forehead markings lean in close, some holding a small round sweet or offering in their hands. The central figure's appearance and cues (turban, orange clothing, rudraksha mala, garland) are consistent with Swamiji (probable), shown in person being honoured at a Kalpataru darshan.2016-04-30Photograph of a smiling man in the centre wearing a rust-red turban, a rust-orange robe, a thick rudraksha mala and a flower garland with blue and white blooms and red beads.
