A man seated cross-legged on an ornate silver throne with a leopard-print cushion, eyes closed in meditation. He wears a tall black turban, a red-orange saffron robe, a thick gold ceremonial necklace of beads and a large gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and a pink and white flower garland. A red tilak mark and white vibhuti are on his forehead. Hair and ornaments are distinctive, and the presentation matches the probable Swamiji cues: turban, saffron robe, ornate gold and garland, so this is a probable Swamiji depiction in an in-person setting. The silver repoussé backdrop is elaborately carved with floral and scroll motifs, and a carved lion head appears at the right edge.
