A smiling bearded man sits amid dense floral decoration, wearing an ornate gold crown with a radiating sunburst design and a small figure at its centre. He has a white tilak with a red dot on his forehead, a rust-brown shawl over a brown robe, and layered garlands of red roses and white flowers. Heavy silver ceremonial chains hang around his neck. Strings of pink and white flowers and yellow marigold garlands frame the background. Swamiji (probable): the crown, rudraksha-style adornments and ceremonial garlands match the appearance cues, shown during the 40th Avatar Day celebration in an ornately decorated setting.
