A man with long dark swept-back hair, a red bindi and a red-and-cream rudraksha-style necklace of beads sits on an ornate gold throne draped with a tiger-striped skin. He wears a rust-brown saffron-toned garment with a gold border and gold bangles, and a thick red flower garland hangs over his shoulders. A brass hanging oil lamp and a brass bell hang beside him on chains, with silver bowls of flowers in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long swept-back hair, saffron-toned clothing, rudraksha-style beads and ceremonial gold necklaces, seated on a throne.
