A seated man in a rust-brown dhoti and draped shawl with gold zari borders sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, a tiger-striped mat, and a peacock-feather backdrop. He wears layered pink and white flower garlands, a gold chest pendant, rudraksha beads, gold armlets and a bracelet, and white and red forehead markings. His bare feet rest on a silver tray of pink and yellow petals and flowers, and a devotee's hand holds a small bowl of petals at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the appearance matches the page's stated presence through the long hair, ceremonial gold necklace and rudraksha malas, and this is a photograph of a physical person.
