A seated figure in a rust-red robe and an orange-red shawl with a rudraksha-style bead mala and gold chain sits on an ornate gilded throne with a tall arched back and two golden lion heads at the base. He wears a white vertical tilak with a red bindi, holds a dark ceremonial object with both hands, and appears to be addressing an unseen audience. The throne backdrop has painted green, blue and pink panels and hanging lamps. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identifiable by his long swept-back hair, saffron-red garments, layered beaded necklaces and throne seating.
