A seated man in a golden ornate throne smiles while holding a tall silver trident-staff upright in his right hand. He wears a white garland of jasmine-like flowers with red roses, green leaves and yellow blossoms draped over his shoulders, a rust-brown shawl over his bare upper body, gold rings, a gold bracelet and a rudraksha bead armband, with a white tripundra on his forehead and long dark hair. Behind him stands an attendant in rust-coloured robes, and a gold-trimmed wooden panel and red cloth frame the scene. The setting suggests a formal temple or ashram seating. Swamiji (probable) is a candidate by the page's claim and cues such as the throne, long hair, rudraksha armband and ornate gold, but identity remains uncertain.
