A seated man in a red-maroon turban with a small white tripundra mark on his forehead and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne with red tiger-striped cushions, framed by a backdrop of orange, red, yellow and white flower garlands. He wears a long rust-red robe with a gold-yellow shawl over one shoulder, a long rudraksha mala with a gold necklace, and a gold pendant. His hands are folded in his lap. A golden staff topped with a bird figure stands to the right beside a gold lion-faced armrest, and a chandelier hangs at upper right. Swamiji (probable): the swept-back dress, turban, rudraksha mala and saffron-red robe are visible cues of a seated spiritual leader on a throne.
