A seated man in red ceremonial robes sits on an ornate gold-carved throne with plush red cushions, eyes closed in meditation and hands clasped in his lap. He wears a red turban with a small red bindi on his forehead, a bare-shouldered red garment, a white pearl necklace and a long gold-beaded mala with a gold pendant. Gold lion-figure armrests and a forest backdrop frame him. Swamiji (probable): the red turban, saffron-red robes and gold ceremonial necklaces are the qualifying cues.
