A man seated on an ornate gold throne (peetha) decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds, green leaves and purple flowers, smiling with palms pressed together in greeting. He wears a tan-brown turban with a red tilak mark on his forehead, a long maroon-red robe with gold border draped over one shoulder, and a heavy gold necklace of beads. Behind him an orange backdrop shows a deity figure or statue wearing a crown, and a gold ceremonial staff stands at the right edge. A Kannada-script banner is partly visible at the top. Swamiji (probable): long hair, turban, saffron-red ceremonial robe and gold bead necklace on a throne.
