A smiling bearded man with long dark hair sits on an ornate white and red throne with silver carved armrests. He wears a rust-coloured shawl over bare shoulders, a long gold necklace with a gold pendant, and a red bracelet on his wrist, with a tilak mark on his forehead. Potted green plants with orange flowers flank the throne, and a large golden deity murti with a white cloth stands behind him against red drapes with a yellow and orange panel. Brass oil lamps stand on either side. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated in a place of honour with saffron-brown robes, rudraksha-style adornment, long hair and gold ceremonial necklace.
