A seated man with closed eyes and a faint smile sits on a leopard-print cushioned seat before an ornate silver repoussé backdrop. He wears a rust-red turban with a red tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha mala in two long strands, a gold chain, and a rust-red saffron-style wrap with gold border over bare shoulders. His hands rest folded in his lap, and a thin incense stick is held between his lips. Swamiji (probable): the rust-red turban, layered rudraksha malas, gold necklace and ornate ceremonial setting are the qualifying cues, indicating a candidate teacher seated in person.
