A man seated on an ornate gold throne decorated with bands of marigolds in yellow and orange, purple, and white and red flower garlands. He wears a maroon turban with a red bindi, a maroon and saffron-gold garment, a long layered necklace with a large gold pendant, a rudraksha mala, and gold armbands, and holds his hands together in his lap. A gold trident-topped staff rises beside him, and gold lion-figure armrests flank the throne with red and black upholstered cushions. Swamiji (probable) is shown as a seated figure in ceremonial dress, with cues of a turban, saffron-toned clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces. The backdrop is deep maroon, and a copyright credit appears at lower right.
