A bearded man with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with a deep maroon velvet cushion. He is bare-chested, wearing a maroon silk dhoti with gold embroidered border, a thick gold and rudraksha-style mala reaching his waist, a broad ornamental collar with red stones, and jeweled armlets. A white horizontal tilak with a red bindi marks his forehead. He smiles and raises one hand in a mudra while the other rests open on his knee. Gilded carved panels with deity figures frame the background. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate gold and rudraksha adornment, and a throne position identify the.
