A smiling man in a bright orange turban with a red jewel brooch and red tilak on his forehead sits beside a golden peetha-like ornate gold backdrop. He wears an orange shawl edged with gold, a long rudraksha mala with ceremonial beads, and beaded bracelets on his arms. Behind him a dark panel is lit with many small oil lamps in rows, and a brass oil lamp with a bird-shaped stand stands at the left edge. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, orange turban, orange shawl with gold edging, rudraksha mala and ornate jewellery; he is seated in a place of honour.
