A smiling bearded man sits on an ornate gold-embossed throne or peetha, bare-chested, wearing a rust-red turban decorated with gold and jewelled brooches. A white vertical tilak marks his forehead. He wears layered rudraksha malas and a thick ceremonial necklace of orange beads with gold motifs and a large gold medallion. Swamiji (probable) based on the turban, saffron-orange ceremonial necklace, rudraksha malas and throne setting. A faint copyright line appears at lower right.
