A man with long dark hair sits with eyes closed on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, under a stone temple pavilion. He wears an orange saffron robe draped over one shoulder, a long rudraksha mala necklace, and a vertical tilak on his forehead, with hands clasped in his lap. Seated at the lower edge in the foreground are several women in white and orange garments, partly visible. Behind the throne are carved stone pillars, a black stone relief of a deity, brass lamp stands with bird finials, and red railings with gold trim. Fruit and flowers rest on a wooden table to the left. The man has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron robes with a rudraksha mala, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate seated on the throne in a temple setting.
