A smiling man sits on an ornate gold-toned throne with a sun motif on the left and a crescent moon motif on the right, against a glittering golden bokeh background. He wears a black turban with a white forehead marking and a red bindi, presses his palms together in greeting, and is bare-chested with layered rudraksha malas and gold ornaments on his neck and bangled wrists. Only one person is visible. Swamiji (probable): the turban, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold adornments on a throne match the page's Swamiji reference, but the identity is inferred from appearance cues only.
