A seated man sits on an ornate gold-carved throne with a red cushioned seat before a deep red curtain. He wears a rust-brown robe draped over one shoulder, a long beaded gold-and-brown necklace with a large gold pendant, gold bangles on his upper arm and wrists, and a white tilak on his forehead. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders and he smiles while gesturing with one hand. A ceremonial staff with a finial stands at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha-style beads, ornate gold jewellery and saffron-brown ceremonial clothing identify this figure as a probable candidate for the Swamiji listed on the page, seated on a throne as a guru during an initiation event.
