A smiling man with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne-like seat against a backdrop of garlands of marigolds, roses and white flowers. He wears an orange turban with a jewelled ornament, a cream embroidered sherwani-style robe with red-gold embroidery, an orange shawl, a long rudraksha mala with silver and gold beads and a gold pendant, and red dhoti-style trousers. His hands rest clasped in his lap and he is barefoot. A silver staff topped with a bird figure stands to the left. The gold carved base of the seat is decorated with a band of Devanagari-style lettering. Sign: visible Hindi/Sanskrit text on the throne base. Probable Swamiji candidate by appearance: long hair, orange turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial clothing, seated in a place of honour.
