A seated man in a rust-brown turban and matching brown robe sits before a large carved relief backdrop with orange and gold tones. He wears heavy gold necklaces, rudraksha malas, gold armbands and a gold ornament in his turban, with a tilak on his forehead. He smiles while raising both palms together in a greeting gesture. Gilded lion-head armrests flank him on the throne-like seat. The page presents this as Swamiji, and the appearance cues (ornate gold jewellery, rudraksha malas, turban and saffron-toned robe) are consistent with that candidate, so this is probable.
