A man seated in front of an ornate gold carved throne with dense scrollwork, wearing a rust-red knotted turban with gold-threaded edges, a rust-red shawl draped over the shoulders and bare upper chest, and a thin gold necklace. His eyes are closed and he has a slight smile, with a vertical tilak mark on his forehead and a short beard. The red velvet of the throne backing is visible at the lower left. Swamiji (probable) based on the turban, rust-red shawl, and gold necklace in a seated, honoured setting; appearance alone is not conclusive.
