A seated man in an orange saffron shawl with gold border sits cross-legged with hands clasped in his lap, against an ornate gold repoussé backdrop. He wears a heavy gold necklace with a lingam-shaped pendant, a rudraksha mala, a rudraksha armband, and a red bindi with vibhuti on his forehead. Swamiji (probable): the orange and gold ceremonial clothing, long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and rudraksha malas match the appearance cues for the Swamiji, seated in the role of teacher on a throne-like gold backdrop.
