A seated man in a brown turban with a red tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate gold throne framed by garlands of yellow marigolds, red roses, purple flowers and green leaves. He wears a maroon draped garment with gold-patterned borders and a long gold bead necklace, his hands clasped in his lap. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Only one person is present. Swamiji (probable): long swept hair, a turban, ornate gold necklace and saffron-toned ceremonial garments on a throne suggest the Supreme Pontiff, though appearance alone is not conclusive.
