A seated man in ceremonial dress sits cross-legged on a deep red velvet throne with an ornate silver-embossed backrest. He has long dark hair, a white vibhuti stripe across the forehead with a red kumkum dot, and a broad smile. He wears a leopard-spotted cloth draped over one shoulder, layered gold necklaces and a large gold pendant, rudraksha mala beads across the chest and arms, and maroon silk trousers edged with gold trim. His right hand is raised in a blessing gesture, and he has beaded bracelets and armlets. Probable Swamiji's cues are present: long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery, rudraksha malas and a ceremonial throne. No other people are visible.
