A seated man in a saffron-orange shawl and dhoti sits cross-legged on a deep maroon velvet cushion on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and a gilded backrest. He wears a red-and-white flower garland with gold beaded necklaces and rudraksha beads, a red bindi on his forehead, and gold earrings. His hair is long and swept back, and he smiles while looking to his side with his hands resting on the armrest and seat. Red roses lie on the tiger-striped mat before him. The probable Swamiji cues are the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces seated on a throne.
