A seated man sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet cushion, framed by a garland arch of yellow marigolds, purple and magenta flowers, and green leaves with orange fruit. He wears a cream turban with a red bindi, a rich maroon-and-gold brocade kurta with an ornate gold necklace and jewelled pendant, and a green dhoti. His eyes are closed in meditation with hands resting in his lap. Swamiji (probable): the candidate has long swept-back hair, a turban, ornate ceremonial gold necklaces and an enthroned, meditative posture consistent with his distinctive adornments.
