A smiling bearded man with his arms raised above his head, both hands gripping a large dark tied hair bundle or turban. He wears a white tilak with a red bindi on his forehead, layered rudraksha and orange bead malas, ornate gold necklaces, gold bangles and armlets, and a silver ornament at the wrist. Behind him is an ornate gold throne or peetha with carved scrollwork. The background is a warm blurred gold and brown tone. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron-toned beads, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold adornments fit the appearance cues, seated on a throne.
