A smiling bearded man in a rust-red turban with a crescent ornament and a gold tilak on his forehead stands centre frame, waving his left hand in greeting. He wears a rust-red saffron-toned shawl, a long gold pendant necklace, rudraksha malas and beaded bracelets, and holds a silver trident in his right hand. Behind him is a large golden-yellow painted deity murti with many rudraksha and bead necklaces and a raised hand, set against a deep red curtain, with a carved stone pillar and a gold trident on the left. The man's appearance, with turban, rudraksha malas and ornate gold necklace, fits the page's Swamiji claim, so this is a probable identification.
