A smiling man with long, wavy black hair stands in profile on the left, bare-shouldered, wearing an orange-red wrap and a pink garment, with a multi-strand rudraksha-style mala and gold-toned bangles on his arm and a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him, a blurred temple-like interior is decorated with garlands of yellow and red flowers, red and orange cloth, and a large gold ornamental murti or carved gold figure with a teal cloth draped over a platform on the right. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, orange and pink ritual garments, and beaded ceremonial necklaces match the candidate description, so the figure is treated as a probable in-person presence.
