A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits in an orange upholstered armchair before a temple shrine decorated with marigold and multicoloured flower garlands. He wears a long dark mala of rudraksha beads and a red tilak on his forehead, his hands resting in his lap and his bare feet on an orange footstool with slippers. Behind him stands a golden-and-red dressed deity murti pair, one holding a trident, flanked by tall gold oil lamps, a kalasha-like vessel, and a white garlanded seat holding a covered shape. Fresh pink and purple flowers and a fruit tray on an orange-draped table complete the scene. Based on the saffron robes, long hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial setting, this is an appearance-based probable Swamiji seated in the throne role.
