A smiling man with long dark hair and a full black beard sits on an ornate gold throne upholstered in leopard print, against a deep red drape. He wears a rust-brown robe bared at one shoulder, a dark brown beaded mala and a heavy gold necklace, with a pink and white flower garland over his chest and an orange beaded armband. A white band with a red dot marks his forehead. Beside him a gold lion head rests on the armrest. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, seated on a throne in a presentation setting.
