A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a large carved arched backrest against a dark slate-tiled wall. He wears a cream-coloured turban with a small red bindi, an orange saffron robe draped over his shoulder, a red and white beaded mala with a large silver pendant, and beaded bracelets on his arms. He sits on a red cushioned seat, holding a silver-handled staff with a white cord, while a brass oil lamp with a flame and a brass peacock-shaped lamp stand at the left. Probable Swamiji: the saffron robe, crown-style turban, rudraksha-style mala and ornate throne match his presentation, seated in a position of honour.
