A man with long swept-back dark hair and a full dark beard sits smiling on a red cushioned seat in front of an ornate gold repoussé backrest. He wears a maroon-brown robe draped over one shoulder, a rudraksha mala with a pink and white flower garland, a heavy ceremonial gold necklace with a gold pendant, and a red bindi with white vertical tilak lines on his forehead. His right hand rests near his chest while his left arm is extended along the throne. The page identifies Swamiji (probable) for this event, and the visible long hair, crown-like gold backdrop, rudraksha, flower garland and gold ornaments are consistent with that label.
