A seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on an ornate gilded throne with a deep red velvet back and carved gold arch. He wears a heavy multi-strand silver-toned necklace, silver bangles on his wrists and upper arm, and a red bindi on his forehead. His right hand is raised, palm open, in a speaking gesture while he smiles. To the left stands a tall brass oil lamp with a bird-shaped finial against a dark blue backdrop. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), shown in person, seated on a throne and wearing saffron robes, orange turban, multi-strand silver necklace and bangles. One person is visible.
