A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved golden lion-head armrests and a tiger-striped cloth beneath him. He wears a red and orange rudraksha-style mala with large gold beads, gold bangles on both arms, a red bindi, and a gold earring, and smiles with eyes closed. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, saffron/orange robes, a multi-strand red-orange mala with ornate gold necklace beads, and a ceremonial throne setting. Behind him are a gold-framed panel in turquoise and pale blue and a gold swan-shaped ornament. Green foliage blurs the lower left edge.
