A man with long swept-back dark hair and a black beard sits on an ornate silver throne decorated with carved lions and floral reliefs, draped in a leopard-print cushion. He wears a saffron-red wrap over his shoulder, a heavy gold necklace of beads, a red thread on his wrist, and a tilak on his forehead, smiling with his hands clasped on his lap. A silver staff leans beside the throne and a small brass vessel sits at its base against a dark backdrop. The Swamiji (probable) cues here are the long hair, saffron wrap, ornate gold ceremonial necklace and throne setting; the subject is seated in person. One person is visible.
