A smiling man sits before an ornate gold repoussé backdrop with floral scrollwork. He wears a rust-brown robe, a gold waist belt, gold bracelets and a gold chain, with a gold earring, a dark red tilak and white vertical marks on his forehead. Two garlands of white flowers and green leaves, with red roses, hang across his chest. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair swept back, ornate gold ornaments and a rudraksha-style bead necklace are visible cues, and he is seated in a position of honour in front of the gold backdrop.
