A seated man in a blue silk robe with an orange-and-gold sash sits cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne with a carved arched back, draped with a yellow marigold garland. He wears a multi-strand rudraksha mala with a gold-toned pendant, bangles on both wrists, and a red bindi. His right hand rests on his knee, and his left hand is raised in a gesture. Gold ceremonial fans and staffs with ornamented finials flank the throne, and red and pink flowers are scattered on the platform in front of him. Red and orange embroidered banners with floral motifs and a bird emblem frame the scene. Swamiji (probable): long, swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and gold ceremonial ornaments, seated as the teacher on the throne.
