A smiling man sits on an ornate gilded throne with a large arched backrest and red tiger-striped cushions. He wears a rust-brown robe, a leopard-print shawl over one shoulder, a pink and white flower garland, and heavy gold necklaces and armlets. A white forehead marking and red bindi are visible. A small green parakeet perches on his shoulder. Probable Swamiji is seated in a ceremonial setting, the presentation matching long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery, and a shawl with a rust robe.
