A smiling man with eyes closed sits cross-legged on an ornate silver-and-white throne-style chair in front of a bright red backdrop hung with small decorative beaded strings. He wears a maroon turban with gold trim, a red bindi, a leopard-print garment, a dark maroon robe with saffron edging, a long multi-strand rudraksha mala and layered gold necklaces, and gold bangles. A silver staff with a leaf-shaped finial stands behind the chair, and a water bottle sits on a small wooden side table at left. The man is wearing the distinctive orange-red ceremonial clothing and rudraksha mala of a swami, though his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
