A bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair and a white vertical tilak on his forehead sits cross-legged in lotus-style posture on an ornate gilded throne. He wears multiple strands of rudraksha beads across his chest, dark bead bands on his upper arms, and a tiger-striped cloth around his waist, with rust-red fabric over his legs. He holds a gold ceremonial staff topped with a finial in his raised right hand and smiles. Golden deity figures flank the throne: one holds a trident-like object and the other plays a veena. A gold curtained backdrop completes the scene. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial adornment on a throne.
