A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a draped orange shawl sits on a deep crimson velvet throne with gilded lion-head armrests and an ornate gold backrest. He wears a rudraksha mala of red and brown beads, a gold necklace, gold earrings, beaded arm bands and a white forehead mark with a red bindi. His hands rest together in his lap and he smiles toward the side. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments mark a seated spiritual leader on a throne. Dark velvet drapery forms the background.
