A seated man in a maroon-red sleeveless robe with a gold-and-gold-trimmed red waist cloth sits in front of an ornate silver repoussé backdrop. He wears a long rudraksha mala of gold-capped beads with black markings, has an orange tilak with a red bindi on his forehead, and holds his hands clasped in his lap, with a red thread on his wrist. A water bottle and a leopard-print cloth are visible at the edge of the frame. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), seated in a satsang or darshan setting, qualified by long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ornate ceremonial clothing.
