A smiling man sits on an ornate red and gold throne, turned to one side. He wears an orange-saffron silk drape over a bare shoulder and chest, with a heavy gold-beaded necklace of many round gold beads hanging across his chest, and a red bindi with a sandalwood or vibhuti mark on his forehead. Deep red velvet drapes and a gilded throne frame fill the background. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron silk drape and ceremonial gold beaded necklace are the qualifying cues for this seated presence.
