A seated figure in a yellow saffron-toned robe sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and a gold canopy overhead, raising both palms in a blessing gesture. A long rudraksha mala and a gold pendant hang at the chest, and dark shoulder-length hair frames the face. The throne sits before a painted backdrop of classical stone temple pillars and arches with a green garden edge, lit by sunbeams. Gold oil lamps flank the throne. In the foreground, several devotees in the lower frame, including a shaved-headed man in white with folded hands, face the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark hair, a rudraksha mala and ornate gold-and-yellow dress on a gold throne, so the figure is treated as a probable candidate, with the appearance-based label applied.
