A smiling man in a beige turban with a red tilak on his forehead sits in front of a floral backdrop framed by garlands of yellow marigolds, red roses, purple flowers and pink blossoms with green leaves. He wears a white dhoti-style cloth draped over one shoulder, a long gold necklace of bell-shaped beads and a gold pendant, and a gold serpent-shaped armlet. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, turban, ornate gold necklaces and white ceremonial dress, seated as a honoured teacher. Behind him a gilded ornamental frame and a blurred deity image are visible.
