A photograph of a standing figure seen from the side, facing a large gilded sunburst-style backdrop with a golden lion-head decoration at the lower left. The figure has long dreadlocked hair and wears a leopard-print headwrap, a rust-brown garment, a heavy white and pink flower garland with a green cloth at the shoulder, and gold armlets. Their hands are folded in front of the chest. Strings of multicoloured fairy lights hang in the background, and a golden deity murti stands at the left edge. At the lower right a seated attendant in white with rudraksha malas watches. Swamiji (probable): the figure's long hair, flower garlands and ornate gold armlets are the cues, shown in a ceremonial setting, and the appearance is consistent with the page's claim.
