A man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a carved gilt backrest, wearing a red, pink and orange turban with a jewelled brooch, a small red bindi, and a long necklace of wooden rudraksha-style beads alternating with white beads. He is draped in pale salmon-pink cloth, wears white and bead armbands, and raises his right index finger while smiling as if speaking to an audience. A small white bird figure sits atop a staff beside him and a red velvet cushion is visible. Appearance-based identification: Swamiji (probable), seated in a teaching pose with saffron-toned turban and rudraksha malas.
