A man in profile stands before a backdrop of ornate gold-leaf carvings and a red curtain, smiling with eyes closed. He wears a rust-red turban with a gold ornament, a rust-red dhoti with a gold border draped over a bare upper body, and a heavy multi-strand gold necklace with a large pendant. Gold armlets and bangles adorn his arms, and a tall gold trident stands at left. Swamiji (probable), identified by a turban, long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and a saffron-toned dhoti, stands in the scene.
