A man stands smiling in front of a cream draped backdrop with a dark carved Nataraja-style circular frame of dancing figures. He wears a large black upswept hairstyle, a red bindi and yellow tilak, and a red-orange draped garment with a yellow border. Layers of ornate gold and beaded garlands hang at his neck with a red coral mala, and gold armlets and bangles adorn his arms. A silver trident stands to his left and his right hand rests on a dark wooden chair. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate saffron-orange clothing, rudraksha-style mala and ceremonial gold necklaces match the cues for this presentation.
