A smiling man seated in profile wears a gold-beige turban with a jeweled brooch and a red bindi, a headset microphone, and a thick garland of white jasmine alternating with red rose and yellow marigold bands. He wears a red and gold brocade shawl over bare shoulders and gold-beaded bracelets on his arm, with a blurred gold and red canopy or palanquin behind him. Swamiji (probable): his long hair, ornate turban, gold necklace and festive garland are the appearance cues, shown here in a seated ceremonial setting.
