A standing figure with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes closed, wearing a red-orange dhoti and shawl with a gold-threaded border, rudraksha mala necklaces and a gold pendant, gold armbands and bangles, and a tall dark turban-style hairdo with a crescent ornament and red bindi. A large ornate silver-beaded umbrella is held above him, and an elaborately carved gold throne with a peacock-like backrest stands behind him. A bare-chested attendant in a red turban and beaded necklace kneels at lower right, and a white-clad attendant stands in the background. Swamiji (probable) is shown in the appearance-based cues of long dark hair in a swept-back turban style, ceremonial gold necklaces and saffron-red ornate clothing, standing before the throne in a ceremonial honour setting.
