A bearded man with long dreadlocks wrapped in a rust-orange turban with a jeweled brooch sits cross-legged with eyes closed and a gentle smile, hands resting in his lap. He wears an orange-brown robe, a leopard-print waistband, heavy gold chains, rudraksha malas, rudraksha armlets and a gold trident pendant. He is seated in front of a golden staff and a brass ritual vessel, with a blurred audience and a white-clad figure in the background. Swamiji (probable): the man is seated in a central ceremonial position with saffron-orange clothing, a turban, rudraksha malas and gold ornaments.
