A man with long dark hair and a short beard stands centrally, raising his right hand in a greeting or blessing gesture. He wears a reddish-brown robe with a gold-coloured shawl draped over one shoulder, layered gold chains and beaded necklaces, a pendant with a gold ornament, a crescent-shaped crown on his head, and a vertical tilak with a red dot on his forehead. Beside him a silver trident stands upright. Behind him is an ornate gold-and-jewelled throne or shrine with rounded lattice panels, a bell-like lamp and a hazy warm light. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, a crescent crown, a trident and a jewelled throne setting, with ornate gold clothing and bead malas.
