A seated man sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a red and zebra-striped cushion, framed by a garland arch of yellow and purple flowers and green leaves with small orange fruit. He wears a light beige turban with a red bindi, a maroon and brown embroidered robe with a heavy gold and jewelled necklace, and green silk trousers beneath. A beige shawl drapes over one shoulder and his hands rest together in his lap. The appearance is consistent with the Swamiji (probable) candidate: long swept-back hair, ornate ceremonial clothing and gold necklaces, seated as a honoured figure on the throne.
