A bare-chested man with swept-back dark hair and white horizontal forehead markings with a red-brown dot stands with palms pressed together in namaste before an ornate silver-embossed peetha or throne back decorated with a lion-face relief. He wears heavy gold necklaces, gold earrings, multiple rudraksha bracelets on his upper arms and wrists, and white ash bands on his arms. A gold ornament with a central pendant hangs from his chest. A silver side table and a silver object appear at the edges against a deep navy backdrop. Swamiji (probable) is shown here through his swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery, rudraksha malas and ceremonial adornments, seated in a devotional posture.
