A man sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with red tiger-striped cushions, framed by a garland arch of yellow marigolds, purple flowers and green leaves. He wears a beige turban with a red bindi, a maroon and gold embroidered sherwani, a green dhoti, a sandal-coloured shawl draped over one shoulder, and a heavy gold necklace. His hands rest clasped in his lap. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, a turban, ornate ceremonial clothing and a gold necklace mark him as the seated honoured figure.
