A seated man sits on an ornate gilded throne with a tall golden back and carved lion-shaped armrests, under a gold-fringed umbrella canopy. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a tall orange-and-gold crown, long rudraksha mala strands and a large ceremonial gold necklace, plus gold bangles on his wrists. Silver trishul staffs and a silver axe stand beside the throne, and the backdrop is draped with orange, red and purple fabric with a gold-covered arch at left. Swamiji (probable): the saffron clothing, crown, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace match the cues for the Swamiji candidate, seated in a throne-like setting.
