A smiling man sits on an ornate gold throne with intricate repoussé carving. He wears a pale pink turban with a small red tilak mark on the forehead, a multicoloured jewelled robe in purple, blue and pink with embroidered sleeves, and a long white and purple garland with red and green accents. Heavy gold beaded necklaces hang on his chest, and a grey shawl drapes over one arm. Both hands rest on the armrests. Swamiji (probable): long hair, turban, ornate saffron-toned clothing, and gold necklaces mark a candidate presentation, and he is seated on a throne in a public event setting.
