A bearded man seated before an ornate gilded throne with repoussé floral scrollwork in gold, holding a silver trident (trishula) upright in his right hand. He wears a thick multi-coloured garland of red roses and yellow marigolds, a vertical tilak mark on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant necklace, with bare shoulders and bare upper body and a bare arm adorned with a band. He smiles broadly and looks up to the side. The scene is a ceremonial setting. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklace and rudraksha mala, seated on a throne with a trident.
