A seated man sits on an ornate gilded throne with a deep red velvet backrest and tiger-striped cushions. He wears an orange saffron dhoti-style cloth with a gold-bordered shawl draped over one shoulder, leaving the other shoulder bare. He has a long rudraksha mala and a long garland of yellow beads, and a red bindi on his forehead. His hands rest on his lap and he gazes downward, seemingly at ease. The gilded throne with carved floral and lion-like motifs fills the background. Swamiji (probable): the saffron clothing, long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garland match the presentation of the Swamiji candidate in a seated darshan setting.
