A smiling man in a rust-red and orange-bordered sannyasi dhoti and shawl stands barefoot on a patterned carpet in front of an ornate gold throne. He wears a long gold bead necklace over rudraksha-style beads, gold hoop earrings, and a white vibhuti forehead mark with a red dot. He raises both palms outward in a blessing gesture. Behind him, a gold throne with lion-head armrests is backed by a semicircular arch of red, yellow, green and purple flower garlands, with dark maroon velvet drapes behind. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold beads and saffron-toned robes, shown standing in front of the throne.
