A man seated cross-legged on a red velvet throne with a gilded, ornately carved backrest and golden lion-form armrests. He wears a maroon-red turban with a fan-pleated top, a red-orange robe, a rudraksha mala draped across his chest, bangles on his wrists and a gold waist belt. White ash marks are visible on his arms and forehead, and he smiles while looking to the side. Behind him stand a brass oil lamp with a flame, a pink-and-green lotus-shaped pillar and draped red fabric. The figure's appearance with the turban, rudraksha mala and saffron-red robe is consistent with a probable Swamiji, seated in a ceremonial setting.
