A seated man in a gold ornate crown and a maroon brocade silk garment with gold patterns smiles while holding a silver staff topped with a white bird figure. He sits on a gold-trimmed throne with orange cloths on its arms, backed by a large arch of marigolds and roses in yellow, red, purple and green. Gold ornaments and a gold necklace are visible; a red tilak marks his forehead. The setting suggests a formal ceremonial seat. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), with long dark hair, ornate gold crown and regal maroon-and-gold clothing as qualifying cues.
