A smiling man with long dark hair stands in the foreground at a mountain riverside town, wearing an orange-saffron robe, a green and purple flower garland, and a heavy gold necklace with a pendant. He raises one hand in greeting and holds a trident-like staff. Behind him, a multi-storey temple with a red-and-gold tower and red flags sits on a hillside above white and pink buildings, with pilgrims along railings and a rushing river below. A signboard reads Shri Mahaprabhu ki Baithak, and a red tilak mark is visible on his forehead. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklace, with a trident in hand, in a Himalayan yatra setting.
