A seated man with long dark hair, a full beard and a white vertical and red bindi forehead marking wears a rust-red saffron-toned robe, a long gold bead necklace and a large ornate gold pendant with a temple motif, as he sits before a gilded back-plate shaped like a fan of scrolled petals. Two bare-chested men in white dhotis with sacred threads sit with their backs to the camera in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron-toned clothing and ornate gold necklaces, cues consistent with the page's claim. Blurred green lights appear in the background.
