A smiling man with long dark hair, a short beard, and a red-and-white tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate red velvet throne with silver-trimmed arms. He wears a rust-orange bare-shouldered wrap with gold edging, a heavy gold bead necklace with a gold pendant, and holds a silver staff in his right hand while his left arm rests on the armrest. The background shows a brick wall and a dark wooden door with brass fittings. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated in the chair of honour with his distinctive gold bead necklace, orange wrap and long hair.
