A seated man with long dark hair, eyes closed and palms pressed together in namaskar, sits on an ornate gold-covered throne with red velvet cushions and a carved gold-painted base. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti with gold borders over a mauve long-sleeved top, a leopard-print vest, and a heavy gold necklace of beaded ornaments, with a white forehead band and red bindi. Brown boots rest on a small patterned rug on a concrete floor, and a blue-lit window stands behind him. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklace.
