A seated man in a deep red-orange robe sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a large carved gold back. He has a white tilak with a red bindi on his forehead, long dark hair and a short moustache, and his hands are raised in front of him as if speaking. He sits on a tiger-skin covered platform, flanked by two brass lamp-bearing figures holding bowls, with red cushions behind him and a red curtain background. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears saffron-orange robes, long swept-back hair and a white tilak, with the throne and brass figures marking his role as the seated teacher.
