Close portrait of a man seated on a red velvet and gold-carved throne, smiling slightly. He wears an orange turban with a gold border and a jeweled brooch, a red bindi on his forehead, and a long orange shawl draped over one shoulder. He is dressed in a maroon garment with orange and gold brocade borders and a gold-bordered orange waistcloth, with multi-strand rudraksha and silver-and-gold beaded malas with a large gold pendant. The page identifies this as Swamiji (probable): long orange shawl, orange turban, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace.
