A bearded man with long swept-back dark hair and a vertical red tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate gold throne with carved gilded panels behind him. He wears a rust-orange robe, a dark rudraksha-style beaded mala across his chest, a heavy gold chain and a gold pendant. A thick garland of white flower buds and green leaves hangs around his neck, and a hand from an attendant in a checked shirt reaches toward the garland from the left. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, ornate gold ceremonial necklace and saffron-orange robe, seated on a gold throne as a guest of honour.
