A seated man in a rust-red saffron robe sits with eyes closed and hands folded in his lap, meditating on an ornate golden throne with a large gilded arched backrest. A white forehead marking and a dark tilak mark the forehead, and long hair falls behind his shoulders. Two gold female attendant figures holding lamp-like dishes flank the throne against a deep red curtain. The 'Swamiji (probable)' identification rests on the long swept-back hair, ornate gilded throne setting and saffron robe; the photograph shows a single person seated in meditation.
