A man with long, swept-back black hair sits before a gilded, ornately carved throne backed by garlands of marigolds and roses in yellow, orange, magenta and purple. He wears a red shawl with a blue-edged border, a heavy gold bead necklace, and a red bindi with white tilak on his forehead. Pictured in a close, frontal portrait with a calm, attentive expression. The appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) profile: long hair, ornate gold necklace and red shawl, seated on a throne in a decorated hall. Floral decorations and a golden seat suggest a formal honouring setting.
