A smiling man stands on a silver pedestal before an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions and a silver lion sculpture, against red drapes. He wears a rust-orange turban with a red tilak mark, a rust-orange dhoti and shawl edged in gold trim, a gold necklace, and a red thread on his wrist. He raises his right hand in a blessing gesture and holds a tall silver staff. Two small mugs bearing portraits sit on a silver side table. Swamiji (probable): the saffron-orange robes, turban, ornate gold necklace and long hair match the appearance-based cues, and the throne setting fits a discourse.
