A bearded man with long dark hair wrapped in a leopard-print yellow turban sits cross-legged in prayer, eyes closed, palms pressed together at the chest. He wears a rust-red wrap and many rudraksha malas across his chest, arms and waist, with a tilak on his forehead. Behind him is an ornate silver-and-gold backrest, and to his right stand tall brass oil lamps and a decorated kalasha on a stand. A stone bowl rests at his feet. The scene suggests a satsang or puja setting. The man is presented with Swamiji cues: ceremonial rudraksha malas and a distinctive turban, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate and the appearance is strong.
