A bare-chested man with eyes closed presses his palms together in anjali mudra at chest height, a gesture of greeting or devotion. He wears a tall black turban-style headdress with a silver crescent moon ornament and a silver comb-like piece, white and red tripundra markings on his forehead, a red bindi, and a white ash-smeared body. Layered gold necklaces, ornate gold armbands and rudraksha armlets in orange-red beads adorn him, with a golden pendant at his chest. Behind him stands a silver embossed panel with floral and ornamental relief. Swamiji (probable): the distinctive ceremonial adornments, crown-like headdress and rudraksha ornaments match the page subject, and he is present in person in the frame.
