Close portrait of a smiling man seated on an ornate gold throne with gilded carved panels behind him. He wears a tall golden crown with a dark maroon velvet backing, a white rectangular forehead band with a red centre bindi, and a blue-white painted forehead area. He has a full dark beard, gold hoop earrings, and a thick layered necklace of rudraksha beads and gold-toned ornaments over bare shoulders. A golden trident stands at his left. Behind him, gilded deity figures are carved in relief, including a flute-playing figure. The room is dark with warm lighting. Swamiji (probable): long hair framed by the crown, ornate gold and rudraksha adornments, and a throne setting indicate the presiding teacher of the KAILASA community.
