A seated man sits cross-legged on a red cushion in front of an ornate silver backdrop with repoussé lion-face motifs. He is bare-chested and wears a tall black turban with a gold crown ornament and a crescent moon. His forehead has white vibhuti with a central red mark, and his arms show white stripes and rudraksha armlets. Layered rudraksha malas and gold pendants hang across his chest, and he wears a red dhoti. His hands rest in dhyana mudra. Swamiji (probable): the turban, crown, ornate gold jewellery and rudraksha cues are distinctive, but the appearance cues are compatible rather than certain.
