A seated man in a rust-red robe with a gold-edged border and an orange beaded shawl sits on a velvet armchair in front of an ornate gold throne back. He wears a long necklace of gold beads over orange beads, a gold bracelet and a gold-hooped earring, with a white forehead mark and red bindi, and raises both palms in a gesture while smiling. Behind him, a painted deity figure in red and gold stands on a blue backdrop. A gold and red decorative element is visible at the right edge. The man's dress and seated position suggest a discourse setting; the figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron-orange shawl and ornate gold necklaces, seated on a throne.
