A seated man in ceremonial dress holds a long golden-hilted spear upright in his raised right hand while smiling broadly. He wears a royal blue silk garment with gold-embroidered borders, a yellow sash at the waist, multiple strands of rudraksha beads and gold coin-like necklaces, and rudraksha armlets with silver-toned beads. A red bindi marks his forehead and his long dark hair is swept back. Behind him is an ornate gold throne with red velvet upholstery. The figure's appearance is consistent with the Swamiji (probable) cues of long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, ceremonial gold necklaces and saffron-yellow and blue ornate clothing, in his role as the seated central figure.
