A seated man in a rust-red saffron-toned dhoti and wrap, bare-chested, sits cross-legged on an ornate silver throne with lion-head armrests and leopard-print cushions. He wears a heavy gold necklace with a large central pendant, a rudraksha-style red thread on his wrist, a tilak on his forehead, and long dreadlocked hair. His right hand rests at his chin in a thoughtful pose. Behind him is a carved silver backrest with floral and bird motifs, and a ceremonial staff stands at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): long hair, ornate gold necklaces and saffron-red clothing on a throne.
