A man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with an arched gilded back carved with scrollwork and figures. He wears a deep magenta-red draped garment with gold border, one shoulder bare, a heavy gold bead necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and a red bindi on his forehead. He smiles and raises one hand in greeting while the other rests on his knee. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and ceremonial red-and-gold robes seated on a throne. Bare feet rest on a red cushion; small offerings and flowers appear at the base of the dais.
