A seated man on an ornate gilded throne with embossed floral scrollwork behind him, a golden bird-finial armrest post at left, and a leopard-print cushion below. He wears a rust-orange turban, orange-red robes with a gold-bordered shawl, a rudraksha mala over the shoulders, rudraksha armbands and wrist beads, and a garland of white jasmine and orange marigolds with green leaves. A red-orange tilak marks his forehead. His hands rest clasped in his lap and he smiles with eyes lowered. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure, distinguished by the saffron-orange attire, rudraksha malas, turban and ceremonial throne setting; this is a photograph of a single person on the throne.
