A seated man in a maroon-red sannyasi-style cloth wears a heavy gold bead necklace with a large gold pendant and a rudraksha bracelet, and a tilak mark on his forehead. He sits on an ornate silver throne with a red cushioned seat, long dark hair falling behind, and holds a thin white thread that attendants on either side are handling. Another person's hand holds a folded white paper at the left edge. Behind him, blurred gold and yellow decorations suggest a temple setting. The man's appearance, with long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron-toned clothing, fits the Swamiji (probable) cues, and he is presented on a throne during a ritual.
