A man seated on an ornate gilded throne draped with a thick garland of yellow, orange, red and purple flowers and green leaves. He wears a saffron-yellow turban, a white dhoti-style garment over his shoulder, several heavy gold necklaces and a gold armlet, and sits barefoot on a red cushioned seat with a red footstool. Behind him is a large red banner with large Dasara lettering and a silhouetted gilded deity murti on the right. Two gold-carved side panels flank the throne, which suggests a ceremonial darbar setting. The seated man is an appearance-based probable candidate for Swamiji, identified by the turban, swept hair, multiple gold necklaces and ceremonial throne, shown in person.
