A smiling man stands against a deep red background, wearing a maroon turban with an ornate gold crown ornament and jewelled brooches, and a red-brown robe layered with heavy gold necklaces, pearl strands and garlands. He holds a gold ceremonial staff with a red stone set in its top, a sceptre-like object. Probable Swamiji: the ornate crown, jewelled regalia, gold garlands and rudraksha-style bead strands match the distinctive visible cues described for that identity, shown here in a posed portrait.
