A man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, reading an open book held in both hands. He wears a maroon embroidered kurta with gold-thread trim and a gold chain, and a thick white jasmine garland with yellow and red flowers hangs around his neck. Behind him, a gold-embossed backrest is decorated with red roses, yellow marigolds, green leaves and purple flowers. The Swamiji (probable) cues are long swept-back hair, ornate clothing and a ceremonial gold chain while seated on a throne, so this figure is identified as probable Swamiji seated in person.
