A seated man in a cream-coloured turban with a red bindi, wearing a white draped cloth over one shoulder and white lower garments. He wears multiple strands of heavy gold beaded necklaces with a large gold pendant, a gold serpent armband on his upper arm, and rests his hands folded in his lap. He sits on a red throne framed by a gold carved backrest and garlands of yellow, red, pink and purple flowers. The white draped clothing, long swept-back hair, gold ornaments and turban are the qualifying cues for the appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated in a ceremonial setting.
