A large life-size statue stands within a gilded arched frame before a magenta drape. The figure wears a white turban with a red jewelled ornament, an orange-and-gold silk kurta, gold-coloured trousers, and a heavy multi-tiered jewelled necklace. A white jasmine garland hangs to the waist. The right hand is raised in blessing and the left is open at the side, both palms painted red. A smaller statue of a similarly adorned figure with a white head covering stands at its base, also garlanded, on a dark red cloth over a stone pedestal. The scene shows a shrine-style display of a sculpted murti, not living people.

The figure wears a white turban with a red-stoned jewelled ornament, a red and gold brocade garment, and a heavy multi-strand necklace of white and red-green jewels. A thick white flower garland hangs from the shoulders. The right palm is raised in a blessing gesture and the left hand rests open at the side, both with red markings. The statue has bronze-gold skin tones and long dark hair. Ornate gold repoussé frames surround the niche. Because the figure is a statue, it is depicted rather than physically present, and the appearance cues (long hair, turban, ornate clothing and jewellery, garland) fit the page's reference to Swamiji, so the statue is labelled a probable depiction of Swamiji.2015-08-23July 27 20142014-07-27July 02 20152015-07-02
