A man with long, swept-back dark hair sits in an orange upholstered armchair with his palms pressed together in namaskar and eyes closed. He wears an orange sleeveless top and orange dhoti-style garment, with a long red and white flower garland and gold ornaments draped down his front. His bare feet rest on an orange footstool with a wooden sandal-like mat. Behind him, a shrine area shows gilded ornate metalwork, a brass kalasha-like vessel, and a blue-robed deity murti in a pink arched niche. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a ceremonial garland, seated in a presentation chair during a ritual setting.
