A man seated on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests and leopard-print cushions, wearing a rust-red turban decorated with a white jewelled brooch, a red-and-orange draped robe, layered beaded necklaces with a large gold pendant, gold-and-white diamond-pattern garlands, and bangles. He has a red tilak on his forehead and a full dark beard, and gestures with one hand resting on the armrest. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair bound under the turban, ceremonial gold ornaments and saffron-toned ceremonial dress, seated on a throne in a temple-like hall.
