A seated man in an orange-saffron turban, orange robe and layered gold-bead and rudraksha-style necklaces holds a small white paper strip near his face with eyes closed, a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him a large ornate gold repoussé backrest or throne, and a red zebra-striped cushion sits beside him, with a gold-colored figure edge at the right. Swamiji (probable) cues: saffron turban, orange robes and ceremonial gold necklaces, seated on a gilded throne-like setting during a ritual session.
