A seated man in a saffron-orange dhoti and matching shawl, with a dense multi-strand gold and rudraksha-style bead mala across his chest and a small white tilak on his forehead, holds a red apple in his right hand while sitting cross-legged on a tiger-skin-covered platform. Behind him rises an arched backdrop of concentric garland rows in red, yellow, orange, purple and white flowers, and two gold lion-head armrests frame the seat. A small green parrot perches near the left armrest. Probable Swamiji (appearance cues: swept-back hair, ornate gold and bead necklaces, saffron clothing, seated on a flower-decorated throne), presented in a seated teaching posture.
