A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red forehead mark sits in profile on the right, wearing an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulder and chest. In front of him is a white-draped table holding a silver tray with rudraksha beads, gold-coloured rings or bangles, and small yellow items. A standing attendant in white clothing reaches toward the tray. Behind them are a red curtain, a ceramic vase with flowers, and a golden finial. The setting appears to be a ritual or devotional offering. The man has distinctive long hair and saffron clothing with rudraksha beads present, so this is an appearance-based probable match for Swamiji, shown in person.
