A seated man in a brown turban and brown dhoti-style cloth with gold zari border sits on a dark velvet cushion on a stage, smiling and gesturing with one hand. He wears layered gold necklaces, rudraksha-style beads, gold armlets and bangles, and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him a large carved relief shows a seated deity with multiple arms and a pair of carved sages with folded hands. Two gold lion-shaped armrests or stands flank him, and a potted green plant sits at the right edge of the stage. The setting is a stage with a striped cloth on the floor. The figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the turban, ornate gold jewellery and rudraksha beads, though the appearance is not conclusive.
