A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair stands on a stage holding a silver trident with a braided white cord wrapped around its shaft. He wears an orange-red shawl over one shoulder, layered white beaded necklaces, and a thick red rudraksha mala draped across his chest and arms with copper-toned cylindrical beads. A tilak of white and red marks his forehead, and gold hoop earrings hang from his ears. Behind him is an ornate gold throne with a red wooden wall. Swamiji (probable) is shown here as a performer in ceremonial dress with distinctive long hair, rudraksha malas and saffron clothing.
