A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with an elaborately carved golden backrest, raising both hands palms-outward in a blessing gesture. He wears a maroon and orange turban with a jeweled brooch, a dark maroon and gold-bordered silk garment over the shoulders, a multi-strand beaded necklace with a large gold pendant, and a red bindi on his forehead. The red-cushioned throne is set against a plain mauve backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the man has a turban and ornate clothing with a jeweled ceremonial brooch and necklaces, seated on a throne in a blessing posture, consistent with a ceremonial seat.
