A man seated on a red cushioned throne with an ornate gold-leaf backrest, wearing a white and gold patterned turban with a red gem-set ornament, a red bindi, and long dark hair falling past his shoulders. He wears a turquoise brocade kurta with gold embroidery and an orange placket, a gold rope necklace, and a beaded bracelet. His hands are clasped over a white towel on his lap, and he gazes to the side with a slight smile. A candidate matching Swamiji is present; the appearance cues are long swept-back hair, a crown-style turban, ornate ceremonial clothing and gold necklace, so this is labelled Swamiji (probable).
