A smiling man sits before an ornate gold throne-like backdrop with carved floral and lion-face motifs. He wears a tall black turban-style headdress with a white vertical tilak on the forehead, gold hoop earrings, and a multi-strand necklace of orange rudraksha-style beads with a large gold ornamental pendant. His bare upper body has white sacred ash markings on the chest, shoulders and arms, and a rust-brown shawl drapes over his right shoulder. Probable Swamiji by appearance: a tall black turban, ceremonial gold necklace, rudraksha malas and a brown shawl, seated on a gold throne.
