A smiling man with long dark hair tied back sits on a red velvet throne cushioned with a tiger-striped pattern, in front of an ornate gold canopy decorated with white jasmine and red and green flower garlands. He wears a sleeveless orange saffron garment with an orange wrap over the shoulder and a red bindi on his forehead. He holds a gold trident-topped staff with ornate gold bands in both hands, gesturing as if speaking to an audience. Probable Swamiji is shown in appearance-based cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, and a seated position on the throne, with the staff a distinctive ceremonial prop.
