A smiling man wearing a rust-red turban with a small gold ornament at the front sits before a large ornate gold relief backdrop. He wears a rust-red and gold-bordered shawl draped over his bare shoulders, a long multi-strand gold necklace of large beads, and gold earrings. His right hand is raised with a finger pointing toward his chest, and his long dark hair falls past his shoulders. A leopard-print cushion is visible at lower left. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated and speaking in a discourse setting, cues being the swept turban, long hair, ornate gold necklaces and saffron-toned shawl.
