A smiling man seated on an ornate red-cushioned white carved throne in a book-lined room. He wears a rust-orange turban, a rust-orange draped garment over one shoulder with a gold border, a heavy gold bead necklace with a large gold pendant, orange-beaded armbands and bracelets, and a red tilak on his forehead. He rests one hand on a silver-toned staff with a serpent-shaped top. Behind him are glass-fronted shelves of colourful books and a brass lamp stand with a decorated lampshade. Swamiji (probable): the long hair and ornate orange clothing with gold ornaments are visible cues.
