A framed portrait of a smiling man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a long beaded necklace with a white and gold ceremonial garland, seated cross-legged before a large banyan tree trunk, his right hand raised in blessing. The portrait is decorated with a garland of white flowers and red roses hung in an arc, white lotus-like flowers, yellow flowers and a red-and-green floral offering at its base. Two carved wooden lion statues flanking the frame are each adorned with pink flower garlands and yellow blossoms, and two large peacock-feather fans stand on either side. The setting is a white draped altar, a photograph of a depiction rather than a physical person. Swamiji (probable) appears only as a printed portrait, with orange robe and long hair as distinguishing cues.
