A man sits on an ornate gilded throne against a dark backdrop lit by rows of small oil lamps. He wears an orange turban with a red jewelled ornament and an orange saffron-style robe edged with gold trim, layered with long rudraksha mala necklaces and rudraksha bracelets and armbands with silver spacers. He holds a silver staff topped with a bird figure. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders and he has a red tilak on his forehead. The setting suggests a formal sacred audience. Swamiji (probable): the long swept hair, orange turban, saffron robe and rudraksha malas are present, so he is identified as a probable candidate.
