A seated man in a multicoloured turban with red, orange, yellow and green stripes sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne framed by garlands of yellow marigolds, red roses and purple flowers. He wears a saffron-orange silk garment with gold border, a long gold bead necklace, and a red bindi on his forehead; his hands rest in a meditation mudra in his lap. Behind him a bright orange banner carries Kannada-script lettering and the word 'dara' in large red letters. Gold and green leaf decoration fills the throne backdrop. Swamiji (probable): long hair, saffron/orange ornate clothing, gold rudraksha-style bead necklace and a ceremonial throne presentation, seated as a teacher.
