A seated man in a maroon-red turban with a gold-trimmed edge and a red-brown dhoti-style wrap sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lion heads and scrollwork, flanked by red-and-black striped cushioned armrests. He wears long brown rudraksha malas across the chest, gold bangles and beaded armlets, and a small red bindi on his forehead, and he gestures with one hand while speaking. Behind him a gilded deity figure with raised arms holds a trident-like staff. Swamiji (probable): the long malas, turban and saffron-red ceremonial clothing in a throne setting fit the visible cues.
