A man with long dark hair and a full beard sits smiling on an ornate silver throne with a red velvet seat, wearing a rust-brown saffron-toned robe and a heavy gold necklace with a large ornate gold pendant over a brown rudraksha-style mala. A vermilion tilak marks his forehead and a red thread is tied on his wrist. Potted plants with orange flowers and green leaves surround the throne, and a gold-topped ceremonial staff stands at left. Behind him, a gold-and-yellow ceremonial backdrop with a deity figure and brass lamps is visible. The caption on the image reads a and , which is excluded from the text list. Appearance cues of long hair, saffron robe, ornate gold necklace and rudraksha-style mala support a probable Swamiji identification in this seated role
