A seated man sits cross-legged on an ornate red velvet throne framed by an elaborate gold carved backrest and a garland of orange, yellow, red and white flowers. He wears a white dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a long gold bead necklace, a red bindi and bare feet, and he smiles while raising one hand in a gesture. A small bottle sits on a gold-carved table at left, and a gold-carved pedestal is at right. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated in person on the throne, identified by his long swept-back hair, gold bead necklace and ceremonial white and gold attire.
