A seated man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with gold border sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds, red and white flowers and green leaves. He wears a rudraksha mala with a gold pendant and a gold necklace, a white vibhuti band with a red dot on his forehead, and his hands are clasped in his lap. Gold-embossed throne panels and orange cushions surround him. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair is absent here; the appearance cues are saffron ceremonial clothing, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, seated in an honoured throne setting. Photo.
