A smiling man with long dark hair sits on an ornate gilded red throne with carved gold armrests and a gold lion-shaped armrest finial in the foreground. He wears a red robe with a gold-bordered wrap over bare shoulders, a red bindi on his forehead, and a long gold bead necklace. A potted palm and white curtain stand at left, and a large framed photograph hangs behind him. Appearance cues include long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklace and saffron-red clothing on a throne, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) depiction in person; the figure is a seated devotee-style presence rather than a statue.
