A man in an orange turban and orange robes sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, raising one hand in a blessing gesture while wearing long garlands of white, yellow, pink and green flowers that hang to his feet. He is seated barefoot on a red cushion. Behind him a gold canopy and an arch of orange marigolds, yellow and purple blossoms frame the throne, with a red sunburst motif at its center. Blue drapes hang in the background and flower-decorated pots stand on the golden side pedestals. Swamiji (probable): the sitter wears a saffron turban and saffron robes with rudraksha beads, which are cues for a Swamiji presentation, and he is seated in the place of honour.
