A smiling man sits on an ornate gold throne with carved floral and scrollwork panels, its cushioned arms edged with orange fabric. He wears a white dhoti and shawl draped over the shoulder, a red bindi on his forehead, and tiered rudraksha malas with a red-beaded necklace and a gold pendant. Gold armlets sit on his upper arms, and his hands rest folded in his lap. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated in person on the throne with long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments.
