A man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved floral and scrollwork panels and a red velvet backrest. He wears a red and yellow patterned turban with a small red bindi on his forehead, an orange-saffron cloth wrapped over his shoulders and body, and a long multi-strand necklace of gold beads. He holds a small tricolour flag with green, white and saffron bands, and a golden lion-like figure rests beside the throne. A dark screen or monitor is partly visible at lower left and a faint palm frond appears at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the figure has a swept-back long hair cue, a turban, saffron clothing and a gold bead necklace, seated in the central honoured position.
