A man sits cross-legged on a tiger-print cloth in front of an ornate silver throne with lion motifs. He has long dark hair swept back, a white forehead mark, and is bare-chested with a tiger-striped saffron-and-black shawl over his shoulder. He wears heavy gold beaded necklaces with a pendant, multiple rudraksha bands on his arms and waist, and maroon dhoti-style cloth. His right hand is raised near his chest in a gesture of teaching while his left hand holds a silver object. The background is a warm blurred brown tone. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, ornate gold necklaces and tiger-striped saffron shawl identify him as the teaching guru seated on the throne.
