A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork, framed by red roses, yellow marigolds and green leaves. He wears a maroon embroidered kurta with a high collar, a gold chain, a large gold pendant and a white jasmine garland edged with red and yellow flowers. A red dot marks his forehead and green colour dusts his cheeks. The figure is distinctive for his long hair and ceremonial gold necklace, so this is a probable Swamiji, seated in darshan on the throne. Behind him is a pale draped backdrop, and a faint blurred figure appears at the left edge.
