A seated bare-chested man sits in lotus-style cross-legged posture on a red cushion before an ornate gilded throne with carved floral and scroll patterns. He wears a tall black turban-style headpiece, a white tripundra mark on his forehead, multiple heavy gold chains, a large gold pendant, a tiger-striped waist cloth, and a red dhoti, with gold bangles on his wrist. He holds a thin tube in his mouth with one hand, and a brass plate with oil lamp and ceremonial items sits at the side of the throne. Background is gold draped fabric. The distinctive saffron-adjacent ornate regalia, crown-like turban, and gold necklaces on a figure seated on a throne match the Swamiji (probable) cues, shown in person.
