A man seated on a red-cushioned throne smiles at the camera, wearing a rust-red turban with a gold jewelled ornament and a red bindi on his forehead. He wears a rust-red robe, a gold ceremonial necklace and a red and white garland of flowers draped across his shoulders, with gold bangles on his upper arms. Behind him is a backdrop of rows of red, orange, yellow, purple and white roses and flowers, and a gold lion figure sits at the left edge. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), with the turban, saffron-red robe, gold necklaces and garlands as cues, seated in a place of honour before a flower backdrop.
