A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a cobra-hood backrest, smiling, wearing a rust-brown robe and a pink and white flower garland, with a red tilak on his forehead and a gold necklace. He sits on a tiger-skin cushion over a colourful striped rug. Gold-finished sculptures flank him: a standing female figure holding a lamp on the left and a figure with a kalasha-like crown on the right. Gilded lion figures and ornate pillars with hanging bells form the backdrop. The man is a candidate for the Swamiji (probable) based on the swept-back hair, saffron-brown ceremonial robe, garland and gold necklace, though appearance alone is not conclusive.
