A man seated with eyes closed in a gold crown with a golden halo-like backdrop, bare-chested in a rust-orange dhoti-style wrap with a gold armlet and layered gold necklaces. He holds a silver ceremonial staff topped with an animal finial in his raised right hand. Pink and white flower garlands hang over his shoulders, and long chain-and-bead garlands frame the scene on both sides against red drapery and a gold pillar. Probable Swamiji: the long swept-back hair, golden crown, saffron-toned clothing, ornate gold necklaces and garlands match the presentation cues, and he is physically present on a throne-like seat.
