A man seated on an ornate gold throne carved with lion arms, smiling with eyes half-closed. He wears a red-orange turban with a red tilak on the forehead, a red-orange dhoti and shawl with gold borders, and a heavy multi-strand gold-beaded mala with a large gold pendant. Gold bangles are on his wrist. Behind him are silver-toned ornamental panels, a trident, and a pink draped backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the saffron-orange ceremonial dress, turban, distinctive gold mala and throne seat are visible cues of a guru presentation; the page indicates Swamiji appears at this event.
