A seated figure sits cross-legged on a leopard-print-upholstered throne against dark red velvet drapes on a stage, lit by purple light with warm orange light from the left. The figure wears a crescent moon ornament on a dark crown-like headpiece, a pink sleeveless top, a multi-strand rudraksha mala, a heavy necklace, bangles and a leopard-print waist sash, with hands resting on the knees. A tall silver trident stands to the left with a small drum tied to its shaft and a leopard-print cloth hanging from it. This is a statue or wax-style figure rather than a living person, so no physical people are present. The depicted figure has a crown, saffron-toned clothing, and rudraksha mala cues, which are used for the probable Swamiji label.
