A seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved golden lion-like armrests and red tiger-striped cushions smiles while holding his hands together near his chest. He wears a red-orange turban with a jewelled ornament, a red-orange cloth draped over bare shoulders, and a thick gold-beaded rudraksha-style necklace of golden beads. A red thread is tied on his wrist and a small red bindi marks his forehead. To the right, a golden staff with a coiled cobra sits beside the throne against a pale rock-textured backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the turban, ornate gold necklace and saffron-red clothing are visible cues of a presiding spiritual leader seated in an elaborate throne setting.
