A seated man in an orange-red turban with a green jewelled ornament at the front and a small red dot on his forehead sits on a red-and-gold throne-like chair with a gold-and-red zebra-striped cushion. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti-style robe with a gold border, a gold pendant on a chain, gold bangles and a long garland of red flowers with white blossoms. A gilded lion-head sculpture stands at left beside a dark red velvet curtain and tasseled hangings. Swamiji (probable): the saffron turban, ornate gold-bordered robe, layered garlands and throne setting are the cues here; he is smiling and looking to the side.
