A smiling man sits cross-legged on a cream cushioned throne decorated with dense garlands of yellow marigolds, purple blooms, red flowers and green leaves. He wears an orange-yellow turban with a small jewelled ornament, an orange-saffron silk garment, a heavy gold necklace of ornate beads and gold bangles on both wrists, and a red tilak mark on his forehead. Swamiji (probable): a long-haired man in saffron silk with a turban and ceremonial gold necklace seated on a flower-decorated throne, a garland-covered peetha. Ornate gold vessels flank the throne at the bottom corners, and a gold ornament is visible in the background.
