A smiling man sits in an ornate gold throne with carved lion-like motifs and a red cushioned seat. He wears an orange saffron robe and a large garland of red roses draped across his shoulders and chest, with a small red tilak on his forehead. His long dark hair is swept back, and he rests one hand near his mouth while laughing. Behind him are red-painted railings and greenery, and at left a stone pillar and a brass oil lamp with a small bowl sit on the ground. The probable Swamiji cues are the long swept-back hair, the orange robe and the rose garland on a throne.
