A smiling man with a full beard and eyes closed sits on an ornate gold throne with carved scale-like backrest, flanked by gold lion-head armrests and leopard-print cushions. He wears a rust-orange turban with a gold ornament at the front, a rust-orange shawl draped over bare shoulders, a heavy gold multi-bead necklace with a gold pendant, and beaded gold armbands. Long dark hair falls behind him. A microphone stand is visible to the right. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, turban, saffron-orange robes, and ceremonial gold necklace match the appearance cues for the person seated on the throne. Behind him on the left is a partly visible carved figure.
