A smiling man sits on an orange cushion with both arms raised, palms open and facing forward, in a blessing gesture. He wears a red-maroon cloth draped over his bare shoulder with a gold-edged border, a heavy necklace of large gold beads, and a red bindi on his forehead, with a red thread on his wrist. The plain pale peach wall behind him is unadorned. Given the swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace, and maroon-saffron robe, this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in blessing.
