A man with long, swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold-embossed throne with a red cushioned back, eyes closed and hands folded in his lap. He wears saffron-orange unstitched robes draped over one shoulder and a long strand of rudraksha beads, with a red bindi on his forehead. In the lower left, a shaved-headed devotee in orange bows forward toward him. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and throne match the page's identification of the seated figure. The devotee is a bald man in orange clothing.
