A smiling bearded man with long swept-back dark hair and a blue-white tilak on his forehead sits cross-legged on an ornate gold-carved throne with lion-form armrests and a dark maroon cushion. He is bare-chested, wearing layered rudraksha malas, a gold chain with a large pendant, beaded armlets and bracelets, and a brown dhoti with gold border. He raises one palm in a blessing or greeting gesture. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, ornate gold ceremonial adornment, rudraksha malas and a throne setting. Background shows golden deity and animal carvings on the throne back.
