A seated man in a maroon-brown dhoti-style garment with a white shawl-like drape sits on an ornate silver throne encrusted with multicoloured jewels in peacock and floral motifs. He wears heavy gold necklaces, a gold pendant, gold bangles and armlets, and a garland of pink and white flowers. He has a white horizontal tilaka with a central bindu, shoulder-length dark hair, and a beard, eyes closed and hands pressed to his chest in a devotional gesture. A tiger-striped cloth covers the seat, and a lit oil lamp glows at the lower right. Probable Swamiji seated in a ceremonial setting, with the central figure's appearance and adornments matching the Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and garland.
