A man with long dark hair and a short beard sits on an ornate silver throne with lion-head armrests and a leopard-print cushioned seat, set against a red curtain. He wears a rust-orange sannyasi wrap over his shoulder and draped cloth, a heavy gold bead necklace with a gold pendant, and a red tilak on his forehead with a white marking above it. He smiles with his hands resting in his lap. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long swept-back hair, a saffron-orange wrap and an ornate gold necklace, seated on a throne.
