A man sits on a carved wooden chair with turned spindle armrests, raising his right hand in a blessing gesture while his left hand rests on his knee. He wears a tall dark hair crown with a small ornament, yellow and red tilak on the forehead, gold earrings, and multiple gold-bead garlands over rudraksha beads. His saffron-red robe has a gold border and he is barefoot. Behind him hangs a painted backdrop of a dancing Nataraja figure in a circular arch with stylised flame motifs on the right. This matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of a crown, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklaces and saffron clothing, seated in a darshan posture.
