A seated man on an ornate gilded throne with golden lion-head armrests, draped in jasmine garlands and marigold and maroon flower strands. He wears an orange-saffron sherwani-style kurta with gold embroidery and a matching orange shawl, with long dark hair swept back, and he smiles with palms pressed together. Behind him is a green draped backdrop with a painted white bird and a dark fan-like motif, a small oil lamp burns at the right edge, and red flowers sit beside the throne. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), from long swept-back hair, saffron ornate clothing and a seated throne presentation.
