A smiling man seated on an ornate white and red upholstered throne with carved silver-painted arms and footrest. He wears a rust-orange turban, orange-red robes with gold trim, a long white flower garland, a thick gold necklace, gold armbands and bangles, and holds a slender white staff. Behind him a large golden relief carving shows a seated deity with raised hands and a club-like object. A microphone stand is visible at right, and a red-and-gold cushion sits at the edge. The figure appears to be the probable Swamiji, with long swept-back hair under the turban, gold ceremonial necklaces and saffron-orange clothing.
