A man with long dark swept-back hair stands on an ornate gold throne-like seat in front of a large flame-coloured fabric backdrop. He wears a leopard-print garment with black trousers, many rudraksha malas across his chest, waist and arms, and a brass bead belt. He holds a tall silver trident-like staff with a rope in one hand, and his other hand rests on his hip. A forehead marking and sacred ash are visible. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, rudraksha malas and ornate ceremonial styling match the appearance cues, shown here as a standing figure in front of a throne.
