A seated person wearing an ornate gold crown with red and green stone inlay, bare-chested except for a rust-orange cloth draped over the lap. Multiple strands of dark rudraksha beads and a gold pendant hang at the chest, with white jasmine and red rose garlands around the neck. Gold bangles and rings adorn the hands, and a red bindi marks the forehead. Behind is a gold-covered staff or ceremonial pole with pink, teal and orange tassels, and yellow and pink flower decorations sit in the lower left. The setting is a festival procession or ceremonial seat under a canopy. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the seated figure, identified by the distinctive gold crown, rudraksha malas, ceremonial gold necklace and saffron-orange clothing; this is an appearance-based label only.
