A smiling man in a rust-brown and orange ceremonial outfit with a matching brown turban decorated with a jewelled brooch sits in a large ornate gold throne carved with lion heads and scrollwork. He presses his palms together in a namaste greeting. He wears a white and multicoloured flower garland with a gold pendant, gold earrings and a red bindi. A red velvet cushion with a tiger-stripe pattern rests on the throne, and gilded lion statues flank him on both sides. A red and white backdrop fills the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark hair under the turban, distinctive ceremonial gold adornments and a richly coloured saffron-toned robe, seated on a throne in a greeting posture.
