A seated figure on a large gold throne with carved lion armrests sits before an ornate heart-shaped backdrop of concentric rings in red, green, yellow and white, bordered with garlands of marigolds and roses. He wears an orange-red turban, a saffron-red dhoti-style garment, a gold pendant and a heavy beaded necklace, with a purple and white flower garland draped over his shoulders. A dark, long braid hangs over his lap. A trident leans beside him, and brass oil lamps stand on either side. A microphone stand is positioned at his right. The figure is shown from the front with bare feet on a gold platform. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne in an orange-red turban and saffron garments with a trident and rudraksha-style beads.
