A man seated on a large gold lotus-petal throne with a red cushioned seat, smiling and gazing to the side with hands resting on the armrests. He wears a leopard-print turban, a red-brown dhoti-style wrap and shawl, layered gold bead and ornate necklaces, gold armlets and bangles, and a red tilak with white markings on his forehead. Behind him hang green and gold textiles, and at the right edge a person in saffron-orange robes is partly visible. The Swamiji (probable) cues here are the long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and ceremonial throne seating; he is presented as the central figure in a shivadeeksha initiation setting.
