A smiling man seated on a leopard-print cushioned chair in front of a gold-carved throne and deep red draped curtain. He wears a rust-red turban with a gold ornament, a rust-red shawl over a bare chest, a heavy gold bead necklace with a gold pendant, and coral-coloured beaded armbands and wristbands. He holds a white cup with his right hand and rests his left hand on his knee. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, rust-red turban, ornate gold necklaces and distinctive adornments are presented as the appearance cues for this seated figure, who is shown in a relaxed, teaching-stage setting.
