A seated man with long dark hair, eyes closed and hands folded in his lap, sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne. He wears a rust-orange shawl wrapped over one shoulder and has a white horizontal tilak with a red dot on his forehead, a red bracelet on one wrist. The golden throne has a sunburst-like carved back and two gold lion figures flanking it, with leopard-print cushions at its sides and dark red curtains behind. He appears to be in meditation or darshan. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, orange shawl and ornate throne are cues for the spiritual leader, shown in person.
