A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with carved floral and figural panels. He wears an orange-red shawl over a bare shoulder, a long garland of pink-and-green lotus buds, and a rudraksha mala. A red bindi and white vibhuti mark his forehead. He holds a large silver trident decorated with yellow flower strings, and a red-and-gold tiger-striped cushion sits beside him. A white-cloth-draped bowl of grain and a drum stand are at the left, and a partly visible person in orange sits at the lower right. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, shawl, ornate gold throne, lotus garland and trident are the cues.
