A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with red velvet cushioning and carved lion armrests, raising both palms upward in a blessing gesture. He wears a yellow turban with a red bindi, a red and gold-bordered dhoti and a yellow shawl draped over one shoulder, with a rudraksha mala and gold bangles on his wrists and upper arms. Behind him is a golden crest bearing a seated deity figure and a painted backdrop of red blossoming trees. A water bottle and flowers sit at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): long-established appearance cues here are the rudraksha mala, yellow turban and ornate throne, supporting an appearance-based identification of the seated figure as the speaker.
