A seated man in a maroon embroidered kurta with gold zari work wears a thick white jasmine garland with yellow and red flower accents, a gold pendant with a seated deity figure, and a gold bead mala. He has long dark hair, a red bindi on his forehead, and green paint on his cheeks and nose. He raises his right hand in a blessing or teaching gesture while seated on a red cushioned throne with ornate gold carved panels behind him, decorated with red roses, yellow marigolds and purple flower strands. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, a ceremonial gold necklace and garland, and a seated throne with a satsang-style gesture, identifying him as the discourse teacher.
