A smiling man seated on an ornate gold throne in front of a floral backdrop of marigolds and roses in yellow, red, purple and white. He wears an elaborate gold crown with jewelled motifs and a red bindi, a maroon and gold brocade sherwani-style tunic, cream dhoti-style trousers, layered gold necklaces with a pendant, and a cream shawl draped over one shoulder. He holds a silver staff topped with a bird finial in his left hand and wears several rings. The throne has gilded carved panels and orange cushions on its armrests. Appearance-based cues of long swept hair, crown, ornate gold jewellery and a royal ceremonial presentation suggest Swamiji (probable), seated in a ceremonial role.
