A man seated on an ornate gold and red throne, wearing an orange saffron shawl draped over bare shoulders and a red bindi on his forehead. He holds a gold ceremonial staff with a trident-like finial in his right hand, resting his left hand on his knee. Behind him is a gold-carved throne back and a printed backdrop of a tree with aerial roots, with green leaves at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the orange robe, long swept-back hair and ceremonial gold staff fit the candidate's appearance, though the face is not used for identification.
