A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate red upholstered throne with a gold carved frame. He wears a saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder with a yellow edge, a long rudraksha-style necklace of gold beads, and a red bindi on his forehead. He rests one arm along the armrest. Behind him to the right stands a shaved-headed man in a white dhoti with a red border and a sacred thread, arms folded, looking down. The wall behind is orange-red with peeling paint. The seated man's long hair, saffron robe and gold necklace match the appearance cues for Swamiji (probable), seated in a position of honour on the throne.
