A seated man in a red and orange turban and pink saffron-toned robe with a sheer pink shawl draped over one shoulder, wearing a dark rudraksha-style mala and white beaded necklace and armband, sits on an ornate gold throne with raised palms in greeting and a smile. The gilded throne with carved floral relief stands before a dark backdrop lit by many small oil lamps, with hanging brass lamps overhead and a brass lamp burning near the lower left. Swamiji (probable): the turban, saffron-pink robe, rudraksha mala and throne setting identify this as a probable Swamiji seated in the honoured position.
