A smiling man sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with red tiger-striped cushions, framed by a garland of yellow and purple flowers and green leaves. He wears a beige turban with a red bindi, a brown and maroon embroidered kurta with a gold ceremonial necklace and beaded mala, and a cream shawl draped over one shoulder. His hands are clasped in his lap. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair falling past the shoulders, turban and ceremonial gold necklaces.
