A smiling man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved golden panels and a leopard-print cushion. He wears a golden crown-like headpiece, a red-orange saffron shawl draped over his shoulder, a red-orange wrap, a beaded rudraksha-style mala with a pendant, a gold necklace, and a red thread on his wrist, with a red-orange tilak on his forehead. A blue-lit screen stands behind him at left. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair, crown, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklace identify a ceremonial presiding role in this seated setting.
