A seated man in a rust-orange turban with a gold jewelled ornament and a red tilak mark on his forehead sits on an ornate gold throne-like backdrop, with a tiger-skin cloth beneath his crossed legs. He wears a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with gold borders, layered gold beaded necklaces, a large gold pendant, gold armbands and bangles, and a red thread on his wrist. He smiles broadly and raises his right hand in a blessing gesture while his left hand rests open on his knee. Swamiji (probable) is shown with long dark hair, a turban, saffron-toned ornate clothing, and ceremonial gold necklaces, seated in the position of a teacher giving darshan.
