A smiling man sits on a red cushioned seat in front of an ornate gold throne with a carved, rounded backrest. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over one shoulder and a long cascade of dark rudraksha malas with a gold and jewelled pendant. A white horizontal tilak marks his forehead with a red dot at its centre, and hoop earrings hang from his ears. He holds a black staff wrapped with white rope and small brass bells in his left hand. The background is a pink and purple backdrop with a stone-like texture. Copyright and source text is overlaid at the lower right. Swamiji (probable) is seated in the centre, identified by his saffron clothing, long hair, and rudraksha malas together with the throne setting.
