A seated man in a close crop wears a rust-red turban topped with a gold crescent ornament set with red beads. He has a forehead tilak, a full dark beard and long dark hair falling behind his shoulders. Around his neck are a brown rudraksha-style mala with gold bead spacers and a layered garland of pink lotus flowers. He wears a rust-orange garment and looks downward. Beside him is an ornate gold lion-head armrest or throne piece, and a gold carved panel and a deep red curtain form the backdrop. A figure resembling Swamiji (probable) appears from his turban, rudraksha mala, lotus garland and ceremonial gold throne setting, though the image is cropped.
