A seated man on an ornate golden throne with a five-hooded golden cobra canopy, the back carved with rearing bird and lion motifs. He wears a rust-brown robe, a white-and-green kumkum-marked forehead, a rudraksha mala in his hand, and a thick garland of green leaves, white jasmine and red roses draped over his shoulders. He smiles and raises one hand in greeting. Red-cushioned armrests, scattered rose petals, fruit and a brass oil lamp sit before the throne, with a second figure in purple at the edge of the frame. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, a beard, a rudraksha mala and a golden necklace fit the appearance cues, shown in a dais setting with a throne and garlands.
