A smiling man with long swept-back dark hair sits on a red throne-like seat beside a gilded carved cobra-hood backrest. He wears a gold headband with a feather, an apricot-peach shawl draped over bare shoulders, a red-beaded mala and layered gold necklaces. His hands rest together in his lap. Behind him hang beaded curtains and a yellow and red floral garland swag; peacock feathers and a microphone sit in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, gold headpiece, ornate necklaces and shawl align with the page's Swamiji reference, but the identification rests on these appearance cues alone.
