A bearded man with long dark hair sits on an ornate white carved throne, eyes closed in a serene expression. He wears a rust-brown robe, a heavy gold necklace with a large temple-style pendant, and a gold chain with a golden bead-and-leaf ornament, plus a garland of white jasmine, red roses, green leaves and scattered pink petals draped over his shoulders. A wooden-bead bracelet is on his wrist, and he holds a small green lime in one hand. A white-clad attendant's hand appears at the right edge. Gold and yellow decorations fill the blurred background. Visible white tripundra-style markings and a red bindi mark the forehead. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery, saffron-brown robe and throne suggest the presentation of a guru seated for darshan.
