A seated man in a rust-red ochre robe and shawl sits on an ornate golden throne carved with peacocks and lion heads, with red tiger-striped cushions beneath him. He wears a rudraksha mala with a large gold pendant, a second rudraksha necklace, a horizontal white tilak on his forehead, and a red and gold thread bracelet. He sits with palms pressed together in an añjali greeting while smiling. Behind him is a jewel-studded backdrop with red, green and gold ornamentation. Swamiji (probable): long, swept-back dark hair, ochre robe, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold pendant, seated on the throne in a darshan-style greeting. Overlay text reads
