A man stands centre frame in front of a large carved stone relief of a multi-armed deity, with gilded hands, a crescent-moon ornament and a drum-like object visible. He wears a black turban, a silver-tipped trident held upright in his right hand, and a rust-red and gold sash over bare shoulders. A leopard-print lower garment is worn beneath, with layered gold necklaces, a large gold pendant, rudraksha bracelets and armbands, and a vertical white and red forehead mark. His left hand rests on his hip and he smiles. Probable Swamiji, identified by role and presentation cues (rudraksha, gold ornaments, trident, turban), not face.
