A smiling bearded man sits on a dark red velvet throne in front of ornate gold repoussé metalwork. He wears a rust-orange turban decorated with a gold clasp, jewelled ornaments and a red tilak, and a rust-orange robe draped over his body. He has a dense multi-strand brown rudraksha mala and a heavy gold necklace with a large gold pendant, plus rust-orange beaded armlets and wrist bands. His right hand is raised mid-gesture while he talks. A small side table at left holds a cup with a printed portrait. Swamiji (probable): the visible saffron-orange clothing, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklace and turban fit the candidate, but the face is not used for identification.
