A smiling person in a rust-orange turban with a small gold cobra ornament and a black-and-gold bindi sits on an ornate gold throne with a red patterned cushion. They wear a saffron-orange shawl over the shoulder, a long necklace of gold and black beaded rudraksha-style beads, and earrings, and hold a gold ceremonial object at the right edge. Deep maroon velvet drapes hang behind. Probable Swamiji: the saffron/orange clothing, rudraksha mala, crown-like turban and ornate ceremonial gold necklaces are visible cues, seated in a throne-like setting. Golden lion-like carved figure appears at the left edge.
