A smiling man sits on an ornate silver throne carved with floral scrolls and a bird-headed armrest, draped with leopard-print cushions. He wears a golden crown with a fan-shaped crest, a red-orange cloth wrap over his bare shoulders, layered gold bead necklaces and a large gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and a sceptre with a twisted silver shaft rests beside him. His right hand is raised in a blessing gesture. A rudraksha-style bead mala and a tilak mark appear on his forehead. Swamiji (probable): the crown, ornate gold ceremonial necklaces, saffron-orange wrap and sceptre match the reference, seated in a dais setting.
