A seated man with long dark hair, a full beard and a red tilak on his forehead smiles with eyes closed on a golden throne under a red and gold canopy trimmed with colourful pom-poms. He wears a rust-orange shawl over bare shoulders and a beaded rudraksha-style mala around his neck. He sits on a purple brocade cushion before a brass oil lamp and gold ceremonial objects, with red drapes behind. Swamiji (probable) is shown in the throne setting with the cues of long hair, orange clothing and a mala.
