A seated man with long dark swept-back hair wears an orange embroidered silk kurta with gold sequined work and an orange shawl draped over one shoulder, with a rudraksha-style mala and gold chain at the neck and a red tilak on the forehead. He sits on a maroon zebra-striped cushioned seat in front of a silver-and-gold ornate backdrop and a wall of yellow, white and magenta flower garlands. Appearance-based identification: Swamiji (probable), seated in a ceremonial setting with clear cues of long hair, saffron-orange ornate clothing, mala and gold necklace; his hands rest folded in his lap.
