A bearded man with a white-painted forehead and a dark vertical mark between the brows sits on an ornate gilded throne before a gold-embroidered backdrop.

His right hand rests lightly against his cheek as he smiles. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate gold-and-rudraksha adornments and saffron-toned clothing, seated on a throne as a teacher during satsang; appearance is consistent but not fully distinctive.
