A seated man smiles broadly against a mauve backdrop, in front of an ornate silver-embossed panel and beside a silver pillar and side table. He has long dark hair, a white vertical forehead marking with a red dot, gold earrings, and a bare upper torso. He wears a maroon draped cloth, many layers of maroon beaded necklaces and bead armbands, a large gold pendant and gold chains, and holds a gold cobra-headed staff in his right hand. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and maroon beads, and the presentation of a seated spiritual leader on a throne-like setting.
