A standing man on a raised gold-ornamented stage holds a silver trident in his right hand, its shaft wrapped with a cord and a small red tassel. He wears a leopard-print garment draped over one shoulder and wrapped at the waist, with a dark rudraksha-bead belt and bands and gold-coloured tubular metal beads across his chest, a rudraksha mala at the neck, and a pendant. His long dark wavy hair falls to the shoulders and he has a white forehead marking with a red dot. Behind him a large gilded ornate throne back stands in front of billowing orange and red flame-like drapery and dark red curtains, with a red and blue patterned cloth draped on the side. Appearance-based identification is probable: the figure matches Swamiji's long hair, rudraksha malas and distinctive ceremonial dress, and he is shown in a dramatic stage setting, not seated as a devotee.
