A man seated cross-legged on an ornate silver throne with a leopard-print cushion, wearing a rust-orange turban, a rust-orange robe with gold-beaded trim draped over the shoulder and waist, a gold necklace, and a red thread on the wrist. A red tilak mark is on his forehead and a small white cup sits on a side table to his left. Swamiji (probable): the figure has a long-haired, ceremonial appearance with a saffron turban, ornate gold necklace and saffron robes, seated on a throne as the speaker. Background is an elaborately carved silver backdrop with lion-form armrest finials.
