A smiling man sits on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions, bare-chested and wearing a green and maroon striped silk garment with gold border. He wears a tall yellow turban with a jeweled brooch, a yellow shawl draped over one shoulder, a red bindi, a white-and-gold beaded necklace, gold armlets and bangles. One foot is bare and dangling below the throne. Behind him is a gilded carved backdrop and a garland of white, yellow, red and purple flowers. The visible person is the only one present. Swamiji (probable) cues here are the ceremonial turban, yellow shawl and beaded ornaments on a throne, though the face is not used for identification.
