A man seated on an ornate gilded golden throne with carved floral and scroll patterns, wearing a rust-orange saffron-toned dhoti-style garment with a gold-bordered edge, a thick multi-strand rudraksha mala around his neck, layered gold necklaces, gold armlets and bangles. He holds a silver trident (trishula) upright beside him with one hand, and has a white tripundra and red bindi on his forehead, with long dark hair and a beard. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues are long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklaces and saffron clothing, shown seated on a throne. Setting is an indoor ceremonial stage, with a tiger-striped cloth draped over the chair.
