A seated man in an orange-red turban decorated with pearl and gold ornaments raises a long golden ceremonial staff topped with a finial in his right hand. He wears a rudraksha-style bead necklace with gold beads and a gold pendant, orange-red robes, and red beaded armbands. A gilded throne and red velvet drapes with ornate carved stone pillars form the backdrop. The man has a dark beard, a red tilak on his forehead, and long dark hair, and he is smiling. Swamiji (probable): the orange-red robes, long hair, rudraksha malas and ornate gold necklace match the visible cues, seated in a ceremonial setting.
