A seated man in a cream satin garment with a gold-bordered light shawl wrapped around his head and a peacock feather tucked at the crown, wears heavy gold necklaces, red and green beaded garlands, and gold bangles. He sits on a red and black tiger-striped cushion against a gold canopy, a red bindi on his forehead, holding a short gold rod in one hand and extending the other palm open. Behind him hangs a curtain of red beaded strands. The pose and ornaments suggest a ceremonial discourse setting; his appearance matches the page's Swamiji cues of long hair, crown-like headwear, ornate gold jewellery and a throne-like seat, so this is a probable identification. The figure is the only physical person visible.

A red bindi mark is on his forehead and a beaded curtain hangs behind him.

He wears a cream headband or turban with a gold band, a red bindi, a pink satin shawl over one shoulder, gold necklaces with green stones, red beaded malas, gold bangles, and yellow silk trousers with a dark border. He holds a bamboo flute in one hand and gestures open-palmed with the other while smiling. The background is a warm orange gradient. The printed copyright and source caption runs vertically along the left edge. The swami's appearance matches a distinctive cluster of cues (ornate golden throne, peacock feather, malas, gold jewellery), so this is a probable depiction of a person seated in an in-person setting.2009-12-25December 25 20092009-12-25A seated man in a cream satin garment with a gold-and-pink jewelled necklace and gold bangles sits before a large gilded seven-headed cobra hood, a red-velvet throne arm visible at left and right.
