A seated man in a maroon-red dhoti-style wrap with bare shoulders wears heavy gold ceremonial necklaces, rudraksha bracelets and a tall white-and-red throne behind him. He has long dark hair swept back and a short beard, and is holding a green leaf-tipped stalk over a decorated pink-and-yellow woven basket. A younger attendant in orange cloth wrapped as a turban and rudraksha malas hands him an object. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces, rudraksha malas and ceremonial dress, and sits on a throne-like seat, so the appearance cues support a probable identification.
