A seated man with long, dark, swept-back hair and white vertical tilak with a red bindi on his forehead smiles and looks to the side. He wears a rust-red wrap over the shoulder, a long necklace of white carved skull beads interspersed with rudraksha beads, and a leopard-print cloth around his waist. Behind him are gold-embossed panels with green and red decorative elements and a metal rod. The description is consistent with Swamiji (probable), who is seated and wearing saffron-red robes, rudraksha and skull malas, and long hair.
