A seated person with long dark swept-back hair wears a peach-orange silk kurta embroidered with gold sequins and an orange shawl, with a gold chain and bangles. A thin white and red forehead mark is visible. The figure sits on a red velvet throne with gold lion-head armrests, hands clasped in the lap, eyes lowered. Behind is a golden deity murti or ornate frame decorated with garlands of white jasmine and purple, yellow and red flowers, with a green backdrop and a green leaf-shaped decoration at right. The appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long hair, saffron-orange clothing and a ceremonial throne, seated as a honoured guest at a Brahmotsavam celebration.
