A seated man with swept-back hair, bare-shouldered in an orange saffron shawl, presses his palms together in namaste with eyes closed. He wears a long rudraksha mala with dark beads, and a white tilak with a red bindi marks his forehead. Behind him a red velvet cushion and a gold-patterned chair back frame the scene against deep maroon drapery. The pose suggests devotional greeting or prayer. Swamiji (probable): the orange robe, rudraksha mala and swept-back hair are visible cues for the candidate, shown here in an in-person setting.
