A standing man in a golden-yellow dhoti and matching shawl with a brown-and-gold border, wearing a yellow turban with decorative pins and a red bindi. He wears layered pearl necklaces, a pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and a brown waist sash. He holds a pink lotus and a wooden staff in one hand while raising the other in a blessing gesture. A thick garland of pink, yellow and white flowers hangs from his shoulders. He stands before an ornate gold-embossed arch framed by concentric garlands of red roses, green leaves and purple flowers, with a red velvet canopy above. Swamiji appearance is a probable match: long swept-back hair, ornate gold-and-pearl jewellery and ceremonial yellow clothing.
