A smiling man with closed eyes sits on an ornate white-and-silver throne upholstered in red velvet, in front of a gold relief wall of hands and figures. He wears a rust-red turban, a red-orange shawl and dhoti, white vertical tilak with a red bindi, a double-strand white and pink garland, and layered gold necklaces with a large gold pendant. Gold-and-orange beaded armbands and bangles adorn his arms, and a silver-and-gold staff rests against the chair's left side. The man visibly has long-swept back hair and distinctive ceremonial ornaments and attire; the appearance fits the Swamiji (probable) label for a seated guru in ceremonial dress, though identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
