A smiling man sits on an ornate silver palanquin or throne decorated with garlands of yellow and magenta flowers. He wears a beige turban with a gold headband bearing a red-and-gold emblem and a red bindi, an orange saffron robe, a long gold chain with a large pendant, and a rudraksha-style gold bead mala. A thick multicolour garland of red, yellow, white and purple flowers drapes across his chest. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, a turban and saffron clothing, with ceremonial gold necklaces. Pale sky and white flowers appear behind him.
