A smiling person with shoulder-length dark hair and a red bindi sits before an ornate golden throne-back carved with floral and scrollwork. He wears an orange saffron shawl over the body and a thick white and red garland with a gold necklace of ornaments, and his right arm is extended outward. Probable Swamiji shows long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklaces as cues for the presentation. Loose petals are scattered around him, and the golden throne and floral garlands suggest a felicitation at a satsang.
