A smiling man with a long dark matted topknot turban sits in front of a wall of yellow and red flowers. He wears a saffron-orange shawl over the shoulder, a dark tilak on his forehead, and layered gold necklaces with a gold pendant. Behind him a richly embroidered velvet textile in navy, green and gold with mirror-work and gold motifs is draped. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair in a turban, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklaces, seated in a ceremonial setting.
