A seated man with long dark hair and a tilak on his forehead sits before an ornate golden throne with carved scrollwork and beaded trim, against a magenta backdrop. He smiles with palms pressed together in namaste. He wears a dark garment decorated with rudraksha malas, multiple beaded necklaces, and a red-and-white beaded band across his chest, with orange cloth over his lap. The pose and distinctive long hair, rudraksha malas and ornate clothing make this a probable Swamiji (probable) in person, seated on a peetha throne.
