A smiling man with swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate golden throne with a red tiger-striped cushion. He wears a rust-orange wrap, a long gold ceremonial necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and a white forehead mark with a red bindi. He holds his hands folded in his lap. A carved wooden staff entwined with a snake stands beside him, and gold lion-head armrests flank the throne against a green and blue draped backdrop. The page identifies this as Swamiji, with appearance cues of long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklace and orange clothing, so this is a probable identification.
