A smiling man seated in front of an ornate gold throne-back with repoussé floral scrollwork and red flowers at the top. He wears a bright yellow turban with a jeweled brooch featuring a green stone, a red kumkum mark on his forehead, and a green, maroon and gold striped silk garment with a gold-bordered yellow shawl draped over his shoulder. He has a multi-strand rudraksha and gold bead mala across his chest and gold bangles on his upper arms. Probable Swamiji is shown seated in a ceremonial setting, the turban, shawl and mala serving as the appearance-based cues for the identification.
