A composited graphic showing a smiling bare-chested man with long black hair wrapped in a black turban with a leopard-print headband, white tripundra marks on his forehead and chest. He wears a large gold ceremonial necklace with a gold pendant and a leopard-print shawl draped over one shoulder. He stands before an ornate silver throne-back with repoussé floral and lion-face motifs, set against a large banyan tree with aerial roots. Swamiji (probable): the bare-chested figure with long black hair, turban, gold necklace and leopard-print shawl matches the ornate presentation cues of the Swamiji identity.
