A seated man in a maroon-red turban and red-orange robes sits cross-legged on an ornate golden throne. He wears a long beaded rudraksha-style mala with a large gold pendant and a heavy gold necklace, with a yellow sash over the shoulder. The throne has two golden lion-head armrests, red cushions and a tiger-striped cloth draped across the seat, backed by a large floral arrangement of yellow, red and white garlands. Brass oil lamps stand on either side and a small orange bag sits at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the figure is seated in the role of a presiding teacher, displaying the turban, saffron-orange robes, gold necklace and rudraksha mala cues, and his hands rest on the armrests.
