A seated man in a rust-red turban and rust-red robe with a golden-yellow sash sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands of yellow, orange, purple, and red flowers. He has his palms pressed together in namaste and smiles. He wears a red rudraksha mala, a heavy gold necklace with a central gold pendant, and gold armlets and bangles. A silver trident with a bird-topped finial stands beside him, and golden lion-shaped armrests flank the throne. Swamiji (probable) is shown here: the long-cut swept hair is not visible, but the rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklace, turban and saffron-toned robe are distinctive presentation cues.
