A smiling man with long dark hair, a short beard, a vertical tilak mark on his forehead and gold earrings sits in profile against an ornate gold carved backdrop. He wears a rust-orange draped cloth and a heavy gold bead necklace with a gold pendant. A leopard-print cushion is visible at right and a gold carved ornament at lower left. Appearance-based candidate for Swamiji (probable): the long hair, orange draped clothing and ornate gold necklaces are the distinguishing cues, shown seated in a ceremonial setting.
