A man with long dark hair swept back into a low knot sits cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushioned back. He wears a saffron-orange shawl draped over bare shoulders and a heavy gold necklace of beaded links with black bands and a pendant. A red tilak mark is on his forehead, and his hands rest folded in his lap. Behind him are blurred gold oil lamps and a blue curtain. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron shawl, gold necklace and throne are the cues for this candidate, who sits as a seated presence.
