A seated man sits cross-legged on a red velvet throne decorated with a dense arch of marigolds, roses and jasmine in yellow, red, white, purple and green. He wears a rust-orange turban with a small gold ornament, an orange-red shawl over bare shoulders, and a long gold bead necklace. His palms are pressed together at his chest, and his eyes are closed in a smile. Two golden lion figures flank the throne, which has a leopard-print cloth and a tiger-striped seat cushion. Maroon curtains form the backdrop. Probable Swamiji, identified by the turban, gold beaded necklace, orange clothing and throne setting, is seated in a meditative pose.
