Close-up portrait of a smiling bare-shouldered man with long swept-back black hair, a white vertical tilak with a red central mark on his forehead, and a thick black moustache and beard. He wears layered gold ceremonial necklaces with ornate pendants and dark rudraksha beads, plus a gold-and-red pendant at the chest. Behind him is a silver repoussé panel with a lion face motif and scrollwork against a blue starry backdrop. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and rudraksha malas.
