A man with a bearded face, sacred white forehead markings and a dark twisted hair bun sits before a large silver cobra hood with red gem eyes and a row of jeweled crests along its top. He wears rudraksha malas and a gold chain, with a reddish-brown shawl at his shoulders. Behind the hood are carved wooden doors framed in orange and gold trim. The metal hood functions as a deity-like backdrop for the seated figure. The a person candidate's appearance has several cues (rudraksha malas, distinctive hair, ornate clothing) that fit the page's claim, but the face is partially obscured and the attribution remains uncertain.

A bearded man with a dark rolled turban and a vertical tilak on his forehead sits before a large silver serpent hood with red and green gemstone eyes and jewelled crown-like tips, a deity-style cobra canopy. He wears rudraksha malas and a gold pendant necklace, with bare shoulders and a saffron-orange garment. Behind him are a wooden door and orange and yellow painted borders. The silver hood appears to be a decorative naga-style backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back dark hair under a turban, rudraksha malas and a gold ceremonial necklace, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, though identity is only probable.2018-02-25 +1 copiesFebruary 25 20182018-02-25February 25 20182018-02-25 +1 copiesFebruary 25 20182018-02-25 +1 copiesFebruary 25 20182018-02-25 +1 copiesFebruary 25 20182018-02-25February 25 20182018-02-25 +1 copiesFebruary 25 20182018-02-25February 25 20182018-02-25 +1 copiesFebruary 25 20182018-02-25 +1 copiesFebruary 25 20182018-02-25 +1 copiesA seated man in a maroon-red robe stands before a large silver cobra hood with red gem eyes and jewelled crest, behind a silver trident on the left.
