A seated man in ornate ceremonial dress sits on an elaborately carved gold throne with red velvet cushions. He wears a rust-red turban with a gold jeweled brooch and a white feather, an orange and gold-bordered shawl over bare shoulders, and long layered necklaces of gold beads and white beads. A red bindi marks his forehead and he wears a gold bangle and a ring. A large red-tinted portrait of a smiling person in white and beaded necklaces hangs behind him, and a red bolster rests at his side. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), seated on a throne, with turban, gold-and-white malas and saffron-orange shawl as cues.
