A smiling man with long, swept-back black hair sits in a zebra-striped upholstered armchair against a pale curtain. He wears an ivory and gold brocade kurta with pearl-bead embroidery, a cream shawl with red and gold striped borders, and a red bindi with white tilak on his forehead. His right hand rests on the chair arm. The bearing and presentation are consistent with the Swamiji (probable) cues of long hair, ornate ceremonial clothing and a seated position in a reception setting.
