A man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-edged shawl sits cross-legged on an ornate golden throne cushioned with deep red bolsters, eyes lowered and hands resting in a meditative mudra. He wears a rudraksha mala, a ceremonial gold pendant, a gold armlet and a white-and-red forehead marking. A red-and-white banner stands behind him, with a white fan and a wicker basket of offerings at the right edge, and a wooden box with a rudraksha mala beside him. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha malas and ornate gold adornments mark him as the central figure seated on the throne during a meditative discourse.
