A man in a rust-red and gold saffron-toned robe and matching red turban with a white ornament sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lion-head armrests and a large carved backrest. He wears a long beaded rudraksha-style mala with gold accents, gold bangles and earrings, and a tilak on his forehead. The throne rests on a red velvet cushion and a tiger-striped rug, in front of a painted panel with pink lotus motifs and a dark red velvet curtain. Swamiji (probable) is shown in the seated pose of a guru on the throne, his cues being the crimson turban, ornate ceremonial necklace and saffron-coloured robe.
