A man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits smiling on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions. He wears an orange saffron robe, a heavy gold necklace of ceremonial beads, a rudraksha mala, and bangles on his wrists. Yellow and white flower garlands lie near the throne, beside a gold-embroidered side box. Behind him a backdrop shows a glowing flame and a reddish mountain silhouette, with Tamil text on a sign above. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robe, rudraksha and ceremonial gold necklace.
