A smiling man seated in a palanquin-like setting, wearing a rust-red textured turban with a red tilak and white vertical marks on the forehead. He is draped in orange-saffron robes and a flowing orange shawl, with multiple strands of rudraksha beads and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with a pendant. Thick garlands of red roses and white flowers hang around his neck and fall across his lap, with more flowers and rudraksha malas below. Behind him are yellow and red marigold garlands and colourful fabric drapes. Probable Swamiji: the saffron robes, distinctive rudraksha malas, ceremonial gold necklace and turban fit the appearance cues, though the face alone is not used for identification.
