A seated man with long, swept-back dark hair wears an orange-red saffron robe, multiple rudraksha malas on his neck and wrists, and heavy ornate gold necklaces. He holds a white cloth to his cheek while smiling, sitting cross-legged on an ornate gold-framed throne carved with a lion. White sacred ash marks his forehead with a red bindi. Silver and brass ritual objects and a small offering dish sit in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron robe, rudraksha malas and gold necklaces match the page's description of him.
