A seated man in white ceremonial clothing sits cross-legged on a red velvet throne cushion in front of an ornate gold repoussé backrest. He wears a white dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a long gold bead necklace, a gold snake-shaped armlet, and a red bindi with white tilak on the forehead. Long dark hair falls to his shoulders. Behind the throne are red, orange and yellow flowers and greenery against a gold cloth backdrop. Probable Swamiji: the long swept-back hair, gold beaded necklace and ceremonial white and gold garments with a throne setting are the qualifying cues.
