A smiling bearded man with long dark hair sits on an ornate throne covered with a leopard-print cushion, in front of a silver-and-gold carved backdrop with floral and figurative relief. He wears a golden crown-like headdress, a red-orange wrap over bare shoulders, multiple brown rudraksha mala beads, a gold necklace and a red bangle, with a red tilak on his forehead. Golden lion-head armrests frame the throne. Swamiji (probable): the saffron-orange clothing, long hair, crown and rudraksha malas are the qualifying cues for the seated central figure, a presiding guru seated on a throne.
