A smiling man with long dark hair piled high in a crown-like topknot, adorned with silver crescent ornaments, sits on an ornate golden throne carved with peacock-like and serpent motifs, flanked by golden lion heads. He wears a rust-red robe, a heavy gold necklace of large beads, a gold pendant, gold bangles and a red bindi, and holds a silver staff with an ornate top. The leopard-print cushions and black backdrop complete the stage setting. Swamiji (probable) seated in a throne, with cues of long swept-back hair, a crown-like topknot, ceremonial gold necklaces and saffron-red ornate clothing. No other people are visible.
