A seated man with long, swept-back dark hair wears a sleeveless saffron-orange robe with gold border over an orange garment, a red bindi on his forehead. He holds a gold trident-tipped staff (trishul) upright in his right hand and smiles while seated in front of a backdrop of golden ornamentation and a dense arrangement of yellow, white, red and purple flower garlands. Cues consistent with the page's description of Swamiji: long hair, saffron/orange clothing and ceremonial gold trident, so this is a probable appearance-based identification. A partially visible person stands at the far right edge.
