A smiling man seated on a red velvet throne-like chair in front of a gold-patterned panel. He wears a dark matted topknot decorated with a silver crescent moon and a small silver serpent, a white forehead marking with a red bindi, a bare chest, a yellow-gold shawl and an orange cloth, and a long brown-beaded rudraksha mala across his chest. He holds a silver trident in his right hand and a small brass vessel in his left. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated in person, with long hair, saffron-orange cloth, rudraksha mala and ornate ceremonial cues. Behind him are a red pole, a wooden lectern and a gold lion-shaped ornament.
