A seated man in a rust-orange turban with a small white ornament at the crown smiles broadly while sitting cross-legged on a red throne with black tiger-stripe upholstery. He wears a saffron-orange robe, long gold necklace of beads and a gold pendant, and rudraksha-style brown beads. Behind him is a large floral backdrop of yellow marigolds, red roses and white garlands arranged in a tall arch. Golden lion-shaped armrest sculptures flank the throne, and a brass oil lamp stands at the right edge. The seated figure matches the Swamiji appearance cues of a swept turban, saffron-orange garments and ornate gold necklaces, so this is a probable identification of Swamiji in person.
