A bearded man in a black turban with a crescent emblem and white forehead markings sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved scrolling. He wears rust-orange robes, layered rudraksha and brown beaded malas, an orange-red coral necklace with a gold pendant, and gold armbands and bangles. He holds a small brass vessel on a stand beside him and a tall gold staff rests at left. Behind him, a blurred deity murti with a dark face, red flowers and garlands stands in a shrine, and a green glowing backdrop fills the right side. The image looks like a composed graphic with a corner copyright line. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the turban, saffron-orange robes, rudraksha malas and ceremonial coral and gold necklaces.
