A seated man sits cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne with carved floral and lion motifs and red velvet cushioning. He wears a red-maroon turban with a red bindi, a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl edged with gold, a long gold necklace of beads, and gold armlets and bracelets, and he smiles while his hands rest in his lap. Beside him stand tall brass oil lamps with peacock-shaped finials. Behind him is a large painted backdrop of a deity in orange and gold with jewelled ornaments. The man's distinctive turban, saffron clothing and rudraksha-style gold beads and ornate throne match the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues.
