A man seated on an ornate silver throne with lion-shaped armrests and leopard-print cushions, smiling and looking to the side with hands clasped over his knee. He wears a rust-orange dhoti-style garment with gold-bordered edges, a heavy gold necklace of beads, a red wrist thread, and a white tilak on his forehead. A silver staff rests against the throne at left, and a small brass vessel sits near the base. Bare feet are visible. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, saffron-orange clothing, ceremonial gold necklace and enthroned seat with ornate regalia. Background is dark with an elaborate silver backrest.
